Flora of North America species comparison

few to several from base, erect or outer decumbent, 0.5–2.5 dm.

few to several from base, ascending or prostrate, (arising laterally, also from within basal leaves, usually unbranched, rarely branched), 0.5–3(–6) dm.

blade suborbicular to elliptic or ovate or deltate, 0.5–2(–6.5) cm, margins entire or shallowly dentate.

blade narrowly oblanceolate or broadly elliptic, 1–7(–12) cm, margins entire or shallowly toothed, sometimes repand, (inner blades usually flattened in age, surfaces often gray-green, scabrous).

(proximal shortly petiolate, distal usually sessile);

blade narrowly elliptic or obovate, (0.5–)1–2.5(–4) cm, margins entire.

(usually secund);

blade spatulate or obovate, 1–2.5(–4.5) cm, margins entire or shallowly toothed, (flat or involute).

compact, (± subumbellate to densely corymbiform, elongated or not).

somewhat crowded (to moderately elongated in fruit, exceeding basal leaves).

sepals ± elliptic, 4.5–7(–8.5) mm, (median pair thickened apically);

petals (sometimes white), suborbicular to obovate or obdeltate, 6.5–15 mm, (base narrowing to broad claw, apex sometimes emarginated).

sepals broadly elliptic or oblong, 4–7.5(–9) mm, (median pair thickened apically, cucullate);

petals cuneate or obovate, 7–10(–16) mm, (tapering gradually to broad claw).

(usually spreading at right angles, sometimes nearly erect, ± straight), 5–15(–20) mm, (stout).

(often divaricate-spreading and straight, or horizontal and loosely sigmoid, sometimes slightly recurved), 5–15 mm.

(sessile or shortly stipitate, less than 1 mm), subglobose to broadly ellipsoid, inflated or slightly compressed (terete or subterete), (4–)5–8(–9) mm;

valves (not retaining seeds after dehiscence), glabrous;

replum as wide as or wider than fruit;

ovules 8–16 per ovary;

style 4–8(–9) mm.

subglobose to ovoid or ellipsoid, sometimes compressed, (4–)5–7(–9) mm;

valves sparsely pubescent, trichomes appressed or erect, sometimes sparsely pubescent inside;

ovules (8–)12–16(–20) per ovary;

style 2–7 mm.

flattened.

somewhat flattened.
