few to several from base, prostrate to decumbent or erect, 0.5–2(–4) dm.

blade linear-spatulate, 1.5–4 cm, (base narrowed gradually to petiole), margins entire.

blade suborbicular to narrowly or broadly oblanceolate to broadly elliptic or rhombic, (1.2–)2–6(–8) cm, (base usually abruptly narrowed to petiole), margins entire, sinuate, or lobed.

blade spatulate, similar to basal.

(proximal petiolate, distal sessile);

blade obovate or elliptic to spatulate, 0.5–2 cm, margins entire.

crowded in distal 1/3, (4–10-flowered).

(usually not secund), dense, (sometimes elongated in fruit).

sepals (pale yellow), oblong to elliptic, 3–4 mm, (median pair usually thickened apically, cucullate);

petals (sometimes with slight tinge of orange basally), lingulate, 4–6 mm.

sepals lanceolate, 4–6(–7) mm;

ellipsoid, slightly inflated (somewhat latiseptate), 4–5 mm, (apex acute);

valves pubescent, trichomes erect, appearing slightly shaggy;

ovules 4–8 per ovary;

styles 2.5–3 mm, (shorter than mature fruits).

(sessile or substipitate), subglobose, obovoid, or ellipsoid, compressed (sometimes slightly angustiseptate), 3–9 mm, (rigid, apex truncate, retuse, or rounded-acute);

valves sparsely or densely pubescent, sometimes sparsely pubescent inside; (septum sometimes fenestrate, perforate, or obsolete);
