Perennials; (cespitose, pulvinate, canescent); caudex branched (covered with persistent leaves, branches sometimes terminating in sterile rosettes); scapose. Stems unbranched, (0.05–)0.1–0.4 dm, pubescent throughout, trichomes pectinate or 2–4-rayed, 0.1–0.4 mm, and sometimes simple. Basal leaves (densely imbricate); rosulate; sessile; blade oblong, 0.2–0.6(–0.8) cm × 0.7–1.5(–2) mm, margins entire, (sometimes ciliate, trichomes simple, 0.5–1 mm), surfaces densely pubescent with stalked, subdendritic, 7–12-rayed trichomes, 0.2–0.5 mm. Cauline leaves 0. Racemes 2–6(–9)-flowered, ebracteate, elongated in fruit; rachis not flexuous, pubescent as stem. Fruiting pedicels divaricate to ascending, straight, 2–5(–7) mm, pubescent as stem. Flowers: sepals oblong, 2.5–3.5 mm, pubescent, (trichomes short-stalked, branched); petals yellow, spatulate, 4–5 × 1.2–1.8 mm; anthers oblong, 0.5–0.7 mm. Fruits lanceolate to elliptic or broadly oblong to ovate-orbicular, often twisted, occasionally plane, flattened, 4–8(–10) × (2–)3–4.5 mm (asymmetric); valves pubescent, trichomes short-stalked, subpectinate, or 2–4-rayed, 0.05–0.3 mm, sometimes with simple ones; ovules 8–14(–16) per ovary; style (0.1–)0.3–0.7(–1) mm. Seeds ovoid, 1.2–1.5 × 0.7–1 mm.

Elevation: 3500-3900 m
