--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties="">Perennials; caudex (buried), branched, (thickened with persistent leaf bases, cespitose); densely pubescent (usually grayish-green), trichomes (sessile or short stalked, spreading), several-rayed, rays furcate or bifurcate, slightly fused at base, (tuberculate or finely tuberculate). <b>Stems</b> several from base, erect to decumbent, (unbranched, stout, densely leafy sterile shoots sometimes present), (0.5–)4–2.5 dm. <b>Basal</b> leaves (clustered at stem base); blade linear to linear-oblanceolate, 2–5 cm, margins entire, usually involute, sometimes flattened, (apex obtuse to subacute). <b>Cauline</b> leaves: blade linear-oblanceolate to linear, 1–3.5(–4.5) cm, margins entire, usually involute. <b>Racemes</b> compact, (often nearly subumbellate). <b>Fruiting</b> pedicels (often expanded distally, ascending or recurved, usually straight or slightly curved, rarely nearly sigmoid), 4–15 mm, (stout). <b>Flowers</b>: sepals (yellowish or greenish yellow), ovate or oblong, 4.5–7.5(–9) mm, (lateral pair sometimes cucullate, median pair tapering at both ends, thickened apically, cucullate); petals spatulate or oblong, 6.5–10.5(–15) mm, (base sometimes widened, apex rounded or retuse). <b>Fruits</b> (sessile or substipitate), subglobose to slightly ovoid, usually inflated, rarely compressed or obcompressed, 4–6(–10) mm, (apex acute, slightly flattened); valves sparsely pubescent, trichomes appressed; ovules (8–)12–16(–20) per ovary; style (2–)3–4.5(–5.5) mm. <b>Seeds</b> flattened. <b>2n</b> = 18, 20, 36.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>N. H. Holmgren (2005b) pointed out that the lectotype and other material from New Mexico, where <i>Physaria intermedia</i> is very infrequent, is quite similar to <i>P. parvula</i> from northern Colorado and northeastern Utah; it is also quite similar to, but less robust than, <i>P. pulvinata</i> from southwestern Colorado. The material from Arizona, northwestern New Mexico, and Utah may represent an unnamed taxon; further study is needed.</p>
