Basal leaves rosulate, persistent; petiole 5-10(-15) mm, sometimes undifferentiated; leaf blade elliptic, oblong, or lanceolate, (0.3-)1-2.5(-4) cm × (1-)2-7(-10) mm, abaxially pubescent with sessile or short-stalked, 4-rayed stellate trichomes 1 or 2 rays of which often branched, adaxially pubescent with similar stellate trichomes or with a mixture of stellate and simple ones, base attenuate to cuneate, margin entire or denticulate, apex acute. Cauline leaves (4-)6-19(-26), sessile; leaf blade ovate, oblong, or elliptic, 0.4-2.5(-4) cm × 1.5-7(-15) mm, pubescent as basal leaves or adaxially strigose with simple trichomes, base cuneate to obtuse, margin entire or 1-4(-7)-toothed on each side, apex acute. Racemes (8-)14-35(-45)-flowered, bracteate basally, not elongated in fruit.
