--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Herbs,</b> rhizomatous, stoloniferous or not; caudex not cormlike, with persistent leaf bases. <b>Flowering</b> stems erect to ascending, leafy or leafless, 5–60 cm, glabrate or sparsely stipitate-glandular. <b>Leaves</b> in basal rosette and cauline; cauline leaves similar to basal leaves, becoming smaller and short-petiolate to sessile distally; stipules present; petiole glabrate or sparsely stipitate-glandular; blade reniform to reniform-orbiculate, 5–25-lobed, base cordate in basal leaves, cordate to truncate in cauline leaves, margins 1–2 times dentate to crenate, apex rounded, surfaces glabrate; venation palmate. <b>Inflorescences</b> diffuse thyrses of monochasial or dichasial, compound cymes, terminal from terminal bud in rosette, 10–70-flowered, bracteate, (stipitate-glandular, especially distally, slightly viscid with sweet, resinous odor). <b>Flowers</b> (lax and pendent at anthesis), (pedicellate); hypanthium adnate to ovary 1/3–1/2 proximal length, free from ovary to 1.5 mm, green; sepals 5, green; petals 5, white; nectary disc absent; stamens 5, (shorter than sepals); filaments subulate, (± as long as anthers); (anthers yellow); ovary 1/2–4/5+ inferior at anthesis, 2-locular, carpels connate proximally; placentation axile; styles 2, (erect); stigmas 2. <b>Capsules</b> 2-beaked. <b>Seeds</b> (10–100), tan or dark red-brown, linear-fusiform, (narrowly wing-margined), smooth. <b>x</b> = 7.</span><!--

--><p>Perhaps the most noteworthy features of the distribution of <i>Sullivantia</i> species are their disjunct distributions and the restriction of most populations to unglaciated areas near Pleistocene glacial margins (D. E. Soltis 1991).</p>
