--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>not scapose; sparsely to moderately pubescent throughout, trichomes subsessile or sessile, submalpighiaceous, 2-forked, and simple. <b>Stems</b> simple or few to several from base, erect, (usually unbranched), (0.4–)0.7–1.4(–1.8) dm. <b>Basal</b> leaves (without distinct petiole); blade linear to narrowly spatulate, 0.5–3 cm × 0.5–2(–3) mm, base attenuate or cuneate, margins dentate (with 1 or 2 teeth per side) or entire, apex obtuse, (surfaces glabrous or sparsely pubescent). <b>Cauline</b> leaves: 1–4 (each stem); (subsessile); blade similar to basal, smaller distally. (Racemes not elongated in fruit.) Fruiting pedicels erect to divaricate, 1–4.5 mm. <b>Flowers</b>: sepals 1.8–2.8 × 1–1.4 mm (sometimes slightly saccate basally); petals white or purplish (especially claw), (broadly obovate or spatulate), 2.5–3.5(–4) × 1.3–2 mm; filaments 1.5–2 mm; anthers oblong, 0.4–0.6 mm. <b>Fruits</b> linear, more or less torulose, (straight or somewhat curved), (0.5–)0.9–1.2(–1.4) cm × 0.9–1.3 mm (uniform in width); valves glabrous or sparsely pubescent, trichomes simple and submalpighiaceous; septum margin not expanded, or not basally; ovules 20–28 per ovary; style 0.3–0.5 mm; stigma weakly 2-lobed to entire. <b>Seeds</b> uniseriate to weakly biseriate, oblong, 0.8–1 × 0.3–0.6 mm. <b>2n</b> = 42.</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Braya linearis</i> appears to be related to the European and Asian species of the genus. Hybridization studies with <i>B. alpina</i> from the European Alps (T. W. Böcher 1973) produced fertile F1 hybrids. DNA sequence evidence (S. I. Warwick et al. 2004) confirmed the close relationship between <i>B. linearis</i> and <i>B. alpina</i>, but suggested that <i>B. linearis</i> is even more closely related to <i>B. humilis</i> and the Asian B. siliquosa Bunge.</p>
