--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties="">Perennials; glabrous or sparsely pubescent. <b>Stems</b> erect or ascending, usually unbranched, rarely branched, (hollow, strongly inflated, fusiform, to 3 cm diam. at widest point), 2–10 dm. <b>Basal</b> leaves rosulate; petiole 0.5–9 cm; blade obovate to oblanceolate (in outline), 1–12 cm × 3–45 mm, margins entire, dentate-sinuate, lyrate, runcinate, or pinnatifid. <b>Cauline</b> leaves (distalmost) shortly petiolate; blade linear to narrowly oblanceolate, margins entire. <b>Racemes</b> (densely flowered), with a terminal cluster of sterile flowers. <b>Fruiting</b> pedicels ascending, 1–5 mm, glabrous or pubescent, (trichomes flattened). <b>Flowers</b>: sepals erect (creamy white, purplish, or greenish), ovate to lanceolate, 7.5–14 × 2.5–4 mm (equal); petals brown or purple, 10–15 mm, blade 3–5 × 1.2–2.5 mm, not or hardly crisped, claw oblanceolate, 7–10 × 2–2.5 mm; filaments tetradynamous, median pairs 3–8 mm, lateral pair 2–7 mm; anthers narrowly oblong, equal, 3–6.5 mm. <b>Fruits</b> erect to ascending, terete or slightly latiseptate, 4.5–14 cm × 2–2.5 mm; valves each with obscure midvein; ovules 98–126 per ovary; style obsolete or, rarely, to 0.6 mm; stigma strongly 2-lobed (lobes to 1 mm, connivent, opposite valves). <b>Seeds</b> 1.5–4 × 1.5–2 mm. <b>2n</b> = 28.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>E. B. Payson (1923), R. C. Rollins (1993), and R. E. Buck (1995) recognized two varieties of <i>Caulanthus crassicaulis</i> and separated them solely on the basis of var. crassicaulis having pubescent sepals and glabrous or pubescent leaves, and <i></i>var.<i> glaber</i> having glabrous or sparsely pubescent sepals and glabrous leaves. In my opinion, this distinction is impractical; as in some other species of <i>Caulanthus</i>, both glabrous and pubescent forms occur sometimes within the same population.</p>
