Stems simple or few to several from base, usually erect to spreading, sometimes prostrate, 0.5-2 dm. Basal leaves: blade oblanceolate, 2-3 cm, margins entire. Cauline leaves (sessile or proximal shortly petiolate); blade narrowly oblanceolate, 0.5-1.5 cm, margins entire. Racemes loose.

Flowers: sepals ovate to elliptic, (3-)4-5(-6) mm, (median pair often thickened apically, cucullate); petals obovate, (6-)7-10 mm (nearly as wide, abruptly narrowed to claw, ca. 1 mm wide). Fruits subglobose to ellipsoid, compressed (usually angustiseptate), to 8 mm; (valves not retaining seeds after dehiscence; replum as wide as or wider than fruit; ovules 10-14 per ovary; style 1-2 mm. Seeds plump. 2n = 20. Flowering Jun-Aug. Dry rocky summits, limestone flats and slopes, alpine knolls; 600-1500 m; N.W.T., Yukon; Alaska.
