Cauline leaves (2 or) 3-6 (or 7); blade oblong or ovate, 1-2(-4) cm × (2-)4-10 (-15) mm, base not auriculate, margins entire or dentate, (ciliate), apex obtuse, surfaces pubescent as basal leaves. Racemes simple, (dense). Fruiting pedicels ascending to erect, (3-)5-10(-15) mm. Flowers: sepals (purple), oblong, 5-7 × 1.5-2 mm, lateral pair saccate basally; petals purple, spatulate or broadly so, (12-)14-18 × 4-7 mm, apex obtuse or rounded; filaments 6-8 mm; anthers narrowly oblong, 1.2-1.5 mm.
