simple from base, erect, (arising from a condensed rosette), to 1 dm.

several from base, decumbent to prostrate, (well-exserted beyond basal leaves), 0.2–0.5 dm.

(ascending or erect);

blade elliptic to oblanceolate to obovate, (usually curled from middle to apex), (1.5–)5–7 cm (width 12–20 mm), margins entire.

(petiole differentiated from blade);

blade (slightly cupped, leathery, nearly 1 mm thick), oblanceolate to orbicular, 1.2–2 cm, margins entire, (apex acute).

(1–5);

blade oblanceolate, 1–2.5 cm, margins entire.
