Perennials, subshrubs, or shrubs; (sometimes suffrutescent); (glaucous or not), mostly glabrous. Stems erect, unbranched or branched (few) proximally and distally, (1.2–)3–12(–15.3) dm. Basal leaves (withered by flowering); similar to cauline. Cauline leaves: petiole 0.7–6.2 cm; blade (fleshy), oblanceolate to broadly lanceolate or ovate in outline, or (distally) lobed or linear to narrowly lanceolate, 3–15 cm (smaller distally), margins lyrate-pinnatifid or runcinate, or (distal) pinnately lobed or entire. Racemes somewhat dense. Fruiting pedicels horizontal to divaricate, 3–11 mm. Flowers: sepals oblong-linear, 8–16 mm; petals yellow, oblanceolate to oblong, 8–20 × 2–3 mm, claw 4–10 mm, wider at base, densely pubescent inside; filaments 11–28 mm, pilose at base; anthers 3–5 mm; gynophore 7–28 mm. Fruits usually spreading to divaricate, rarely ascending, often strongly curved downward, not tortuous, (smooth), terete, 3–9 cm × 1.5–3 mm; ovules 10–38 per ovary; style 0.2–0.6 mm. Seeds (sometimes black), oblong, 2.5–4.5 × 1.2–2 mm.

Discussion
Varieties 3 (3 in the flora).
The three varieties of Stanleya pinnata are reasonably well-defined and can be easily separated from each other. Their maintenance here at varietal rank is tentative; a genus-wide phylogenetic study is much needed to establish whether or not they merit recognition as distinct species.
