Plants synoecious, with basal rosette of leaves usually not persistent at maturity. Stems ascending, spreading, or almost prostrate, occasionally erect. Leaf blades spatulate, lanceolate, or ovate-lanceolate, rarely rounded, base cuneate. Pedicels articulated in distal part, usually heteromorphic: some curved, swollen, and clavate, others straight, not swollen, and cylindric. Flowers normally bisexual; outer tepals not spreading; inner tepals enlarged, often heteromorphic, (1.5–)2–4(–5) mm, equaling or slightly wider and longer than achenes, margins usually dentate; tubercles very small, or absent.
