--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties="">Perennials; caudex simple or branched, (often enlarged); densely pubescent, trichomes (sessile or short-stalked), 4–7-rayed, rays furcate or bifurcate, (tuberculate throughout). <b>Stems</b> simple or several from base, prostrate to erect, 0.5–2(–3.5) dm. <b>Basal</b> leaves: blade suborbicular or obovate to elliptic, (1–)2–5(–7) cm, margins entire, sinuate, or shallowly dentate. <b>Cauline</b> leaves (often secund, proximal shortly petiolate, distal sessile); blade linear to obovate or rhombic, 1–2.5(–4) cm, margins entire or shallowly dentate. <b>Racemes</b> dense, compact, (usually elongated in fruit). <b>Fruiting</b> pedicels (usually sharply sigmoid, rarely nearly divaricate-spreading and straight), 5–15(–20) mm, (stout). <b>Flowers</b>: sepals elliptic, 5–8.5 mm, (lateral pair boat-shaped, saccate, median pair thickened apically, cucullate); petals (yellow to orange, sometimes fading purplish), narrowly spatulate or obovate, (6–)7.5–12 mm, (claw undifferentiated from blade, or gradually narrowed to claw, slightly expanded basally). <b>Fruits</b> (erect), ellipsoid or ovoid, not or slightly obcompressed, (apex not compressed), (6–)7–12 mm; valves densely pubescent, sometimes sparsely pubescent inside; ovules (8–)12–20(–24) per ovary; style 3–7 mm, (sometimes pubescent). <b>Seeds</b> flattened. <b>2n</b> = 10.</span><!--

|phenology=Flowering Apr–Jun(-Aug).
|habitat=Banks, rock outcrops, stony slopes and benchlands, from plains into mountains, in sagebrush, open scrub oak, pinyon-juniper woodland, ponderosa pine, Douglas fir on granitic, often gravelly, non-calcareous soils, rarely on calcareous soils
|elevation=1000-3300 m
|distribution=Ariz.;Colo.;Nebr.;N.Mex.;S.Dak.;Wyo.
|discussion=<p><i>Physaria montana</i> is a rather variable species that in southwestern Colorado morphologically approaches <i>P. rectipes</i> and in eastern Wyoming approaches <i>P. curvipes</i>; it is unusual in the genus for its frequent presence on igneous, non-calcareous soils.</p>
