erect, branched distally, (1–)2–7(–8.5) dm, sparsely to densely (soft) pubescent at least basally, usually glabrous distally.

(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.

rosulate;

petiole (1–)2–5(–9) cm;

blade broadly oblanceolate to oblong-oblanceolate (in outline), 3–8(–10) cm × (10–)20–40(–60) mm, margins runcinate-pinnatipartite;

lobes 2–5 on each side, oblong or lanceolate, much smaller than terminal lobe, margins subentire or dentate, (terminal lobe lanceolate, deltate, or often hastate).

(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.

similar to basal; (distalmost) blade with 1 or 2 lobes on each side, much smaller than terminal lobe, (terminal lobe narrowly lanceolate, linear, or hastate).

sepals erect, oblong, 1–1.5 × 0.3–0.5 mm;

petals spatulate, 1.5–2 × 0.4–0.6 mm, claw 0.6–1 mm;
