Diagnosis

Stems 40–50 cm tall. Rosulate leaves lanceolate or rhombic-lanceolate, base cuneate, apex triangular to broadly triangular, with small to prominent coarse teeth, rather thick, bright-green, with sparse to rather dense simple hairs 0.5–0.8 mm long along the margins and nearly without stellate hairs above, on long petioles. Cauline leaves similar, much reduced in size, 2–3. Phyllaries broadly triangular, with rather acute apex, 10–11 mm long, pale-green, with or without solitary simple hairs, with dense glandular hairs 0.5–0.8 mm long and sparse to rather dense stellate hairs throughout, apex with few short ciliae. Synflorescence branches usually without simple hairs, with solitary or very rare glandular hairs 0.3–0.5 mm long and stellate hairs. Styles with black papillae. Ligules glabrous.
