erect, branched distally, 2.5–7.5(–11) dm, usually sparsely to densely hirsute, (trichomes retrorse), rarely glabrate distally.

(simple or few to several from base), erect or ascending to subprostrate, branched distally, 1–5(–7) dm, glabrous.

usually rosulate;

petiole (1–)2–7(–10) cm;

blade broadly oblanceolate or oblong-obovate (in outline), (2–)3–10(–15) cm × (10–)20–50(–80) mm, margins lyrate-pinnatifid, pinnatisect, or runcinate;

lobes (2)3 or 4(5) on each side, oblong or lanceolate, smaller than terminal lobe, margins entire, dentate, or lobed, (terminal lobe suborbicular or deltate, margins dentate).

(soon withered); initially rosulate;

petiole (1–)2–5(–6.5) cm;

blade oblanceolate to lanceolate (in outline), 2–7(–10) cm × 10–30(–45) mm, margins sinuate- or runcinate-pinnatifid to coarsely dentate;

lobes 3–6 on each side, often triangular, slightly smaller than terminal lobe, margins dentate or subentire.

similar to basal;

blade with lobe margins dentate or subentire.

(sometimes bracts, several), similar to basal, (shortly petiolate);

blade margins dentate or subentire, (surfaces glabrous or sparsely puberulent at and near margin). (Inflorescences 2–4(–6)-fasciculate, or flowers solitary and axillary, bracteate throughout.) Fruiting pedicels ascending to erect, stout, narrower than fruit base, 0.5–1(–2) mm.
