Plants eglandular, often canes-cent. Basal leaves: lateral lobes 2 or 3 (or 4) pairs, margins usually entire. Cauline leaves: lobes linear, margins entire. Racemes eglandular. Fruiting pedicels horizontal to divaricate, (10-)13-25 (-30) mm. Fruits curved inward.
Flowering May-Jun. Disturbed grounds, rocky hillsides, pinyon-juniper woodlands, grassy benches, flats; 1500-2300 m; Colo., N.Mex., Utah.
Subspecies paysonii and incisa are reliably separated by their pedicel length, orientation, and shape and margin of lateral leaf lobes.
