several from base, decumbent to erect or ascending (unbranched), 1–2.5 dm.

few from base, erect, (stout), to 1.5 dm (sometimes greatly reduced).

(outer ones spreading, inner erect or ascending);

blade ovate, often broadly so, 4–7 cm, margins repand to lyrate-lobed.

blade suborbicular to rhombic or broadly elliptic, 1–4.5 cm, margins entire, (apex rounded to subacute).

similar to basal, blade oblanceolate or narrowly oblong, reduced in size, (base gibbous).

(proximal petiolate, distal subsessile);

blade elliptic, 1–4 cm, (distal narrower), margins entire or remotely dentate.

loose, (elongated).

condensed, (subcorymbose to subumbellate, few-flowered).

sepals lanceolate or narrowly oblong, 5.8–7.2 mm;

petals (erect, sometime purplish or drying purple), narrowly oblong to oblanceolate, 7–10 mm, (not or weakly clawed).

sepals (persistent), broadly ovate or oblong to narrowly elliptic, 5.5–8(–9.5) mm, (lateral pair slightly cucullate, median pair thickened apically, cucullate, usually keeled);

petals (orange to yellow), oblong to obovate, 8–11.5(–14.5) mm, (slightly narrowed to broad claw, margins sinuate, often retuse).

(ascending to divaricate-ascending, sigmoid to nearly straight), 10–17 mm.

(horizontal or divaricate-ascending, straight or slightly curved), 5–15 mm, (stout and rigid).

didymous, globose or subglobose, inflated, 10–13 mm, (papery, basal and apical sinuses deep);

valves (retaining seeds after dehiscence), pubescent, trichomes ascending, appearing fuzzy;

replum oblong to oblanceolate, as wide as or wider than fruit, apex obtuse;

ovules 4 per ovary;

style (4–)5–7 mm.

(sessile or substipitate), globose, ovoid, or suborbicular, compressed (with marginal and apical constriction), 4–7 mm;

valves pubescent, trichomes contiguous or overlapping, often spreading;

ovules 16–24 per ovary;
