simple to several from base, erect, often outer decumbent, (unbranched or branched distally), 1–7 dm.

(erect);

blade linear-oblanceolate, 1.2–2.8 cm, (base gradually narrowed to petiole), margins entire.

blade oblanceolate to elliptic, 1.5–8(–11.5) cm, margins lyrate-pinnatifid to dentate or repand, (abaxial surface densely pubescent, adaxial sparsely pubescent).

blade linear, similar to basal.

(proximal petiolate, distal sessile);

blade oblanceolate to oblong, 1–7 cm, margins dentate to repand.

dense, (often subumbellate, not or barely exceeding basal leaves).

loose, (elongated).

sepals (pale green-yellow), oblong to elliptic, 4–5 mm, (median pair usually thickened apically, cucullate);

petals lingulate, 6–9 mm.
