Annuals; with a fine taproot; densely pubescent, trichomes (sessile), usually 4-rayed, rays forked, rarely simple or tripartite, (finely tuberculate). Stems several from base, (slender), erect or outer decumbent, (usually branched, branches filiform, bud clusters of growing plants drooping), to 2.5 dm. Basal leaves: blade orbicular to broadly spatulate, 1-2.4 cm, margins entire or sinuate. Cauline leaves: (proximal often petiolate, distal sessile); similar to basal, blade spatulate to oblanceolate or (distal) linear, (base cuneate), margins entire or sinuate. Racemes loose. Fruiting pedicels (usually divaricate-ascending, straight or slightly curved), 7-11 mm. Flowers: sepals oblong or elliptic, 2.5-4.6 mm, (median pair slightly thickened apically); petals (pale yellow), spatulate to obovate, 5-9 mm, (apex ± emarginate). Fruits (sessile or shortly stipitate), globose, not inflated, 3-4 mm; valves (not retaining seeds after dehiscence), glabrous throughout; replum as wide as or wider than fruit; ovules 4 per ovary; style 3-5 mm. Seeds flattened. 2n = 14. Flowering Apr-May. Limestone, dolomite, and shale, sparsely vegetated or barren areas, cedar glades, old pastures, along roadsides; of conservation concern; 200-300 m; Ala., Ark., Mo.
