Distal mid stems moderately to densely hispido-strigose, eglandular or sparsely stipitate-glandular. Leaves pale green to gray-green, faces moderately to ± densely hispido-strigose (21–60 hairs/mm²; hairs rarely broad-based, pustulate), eglandular to sparsely glandular; distal cauline linear to narrowly oblanceolate, rarely broadly so, (14–)18.7(–30) × (2–)2.6–4.5(–6) mm, margins proximally long-hispido-strigose, sometimes cilia numerous along whole length, faces sparsely to moderately hispido-strigose, eglandular. Phyllary faces usually moderately strigose, eglandular. 2n = 36.
