Perennials. Stems erect to ascending, often paniculately branched distally, 1.5–7.5 dm, trichomes sessile or subsessile. Basal leaves absent on older plants. Cauline leaves petiolate or (distal) sessile; petiole 0.3–2 cm; blade oblanceolate or lanceolate to obovate, (1.5–)3–8(–11.5) cm × (7–)15–35(–46) mm (smaller distally), base cuneate, margins coarsely dentate to shallowly sinuate, surfaces with stalked to subsessile trichomes. Racemes slightly to considerably elongated in fruit. Fruiting pedicels divaricate or slightly ascending, (3–)4–9(–12) mm. Flowers: sepals slightly spreading, 2–4 × 0.8–1.5 mm; petals (slightly spreading), spatulate or oblanceolate, (3.5–)4.5–6 × 1–1.5 mm, claw obscurely differentiated from blade, to 1.5 mm; filaments spreading, 3.5–6 mm, equal to or longer than petals; anthers 0.7–1 mm. Fruits divaricate or slightly ascending, curved or straight, torulose, linear, terete, (1–)1.5–2.6 cm × 0.6–0.9 mm; ovules 28–38 per ovary; style (1–)1.5–2.2 mm. Seeds uniseriate, 0.9–1.2 × 0.5–0.6 mm.
