--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties="">Perennials; (diminutive); caudex branched, (densely cespitose, mound-forming); densely pubescent, trichomes (flaring, giving a shaggy appearance), usually 4–5-rayed, rays furcate or bifurcate, (strongly tuberculate throughout). <b>Stems</b> few to several from base, erect, (from basal tuft), 0.1–0.2(–0.3) dm, (not or just barely exceeding leaves). <b>Basal</b> leaves: blade spatulate to oblanceolate, 0.5–1.5 cm, (base gradually narrowed to petiole), margins entire. <b>Cauline</b> leaves (absent or few); similar to basal, blade linear. <b>Racemes</b> dense, (few-flowered). <b>Fruiting</b> pedicels (loosely sigmoid), 3–5 mm. <b>Flowers</b>: sepals (pale yellow), oblong to elliptic, 4–5 mm, (median pair usually thickened apically, cucullate); petals (bright yellow), lingulate, 6–8 mm. <b>Fruits</b> lanceolate, compressed apically, 2.5–3(–4) mm; valves pubescent, trichomes spreading, (appearing fuzzy), rarely with trichomes inside; ovules 4–8 per ovary; style 2.5–4 mm. <b>Seeds</b> plump, (oblong).</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Physaria nelsonii</i> is morphologically similar to 73. <i>P. pycnantha</i>, which traditionally was included in a broader <i>P. nelsonii</i>. These allopatric species are distinguished by styles equal to or exceeding the length of fruit and fruiting stems overtopped by basal leaves (<i>P. nelsonii</i>) versus styles shorter than fruits and fruiting stems usually exserted beyond basal leaves (<i>P. pycnantha</i>).</p>
