several from base, prostrate to decumbent, 0.3–1 dm.

simple from base, erect to decumbent, (well-exserted beyond basal leaves, loosely spreading), 0.3–1.2 dm.

(rosulate; petiole winged);

blade orbicular to broadly obovate, 1.5–3 cm, margins entire or with broad, obscure toothlike angles each side at apex, (apex obtuse, surfaces densely pubescent, trichomes appressed).

(erect to prostrate, petiole distinct from blade);

blade (inner) spatulate to oblanceolate, or (outer) oblanceolate or orbicular, 1.5–4 cm, margins entire (rarely folded).

blade broadly spatulate to linear-oblanceolate, 1–1.5 cm, margins entire.

blade spatulate, distinctly different from basal.

condensed, (subumbellate to slightly more elongated, few-flowered).
