Basal leaves rosulate, sessile, oblong-linear to narrowly oblanceolate, 3–6 cm ´ 2–4 mm, abaxially densely pubescent with subsessile, 5–8-rayed stellate trichomes, adaxially with a mixture of primarily simple trichomes and fewer stellate ones, rarely exclusively simple, base attenuate, margin entire, apex obtuse; cauline leaves 3–20, sessile; leaf blade ovate, oblong, or lanceolate, 1–5 cm ´ 3–7 mm, pubescent as basal leaves, base auriculate or amplexicaul, margin entire, apex obtuse. Racemes (20–)30–90-flowered, ebracteate, elongated considerably in fruit; fruiting pedicels 3–15 mm, divaricate, straight or slightly curved, glabrous adaxially, pubescent abaxially with stellate trichomes. Sepals oblong or ovate, (2–)2.5–3.5 ´ 1–1.5 mm, ascending, abaxially sparsely pilose with primarily simple trichomes, base of lateral pair subsaccate, margin membranous; petals yellow, obovate, (4.5–)5–7 ´ 2.5–4 mm, apex emarginate; claw 1–2 mm; filaments 1.5–4 mm; anthers ovate, 0.4–0.6 mm; ovules 6–12 per ovary.
