Perennial herb but can flower young and look annual, woody rootstock eventually up to c. 10 mm in diam., stems solitary at first, soon several from the crown, c. 70-400 mm long, erect, ascending or decumbent and then sometimes rooting, soon branching from the base and above, glandular-puberulous, hairs up to 0.1-0.3 mm long, few scattered glistening glands as well, leafy. Leaves opposite becoming alternate upwards, pseudofasciculate, up to 8-30 x 6-22 mm, blade elliptic to broadly ovate in outline tapering into a petiolar part, blade cut nearly to midrib, one or two of the largest pairs of lobes cut again, other lobes entire or 1-toothed, plentiful glistening glands on both surfaces, scattered glandular hairs as well up to 0.1-0.3 mm long particularly on lower surface. Flowers solitary in the axils of the leaves, these becoming very small upwards, the whole forming long racemes or panicles. Pedicels up to 9-27 mm long. Calyx tube 0.2-0.25 mm long, lobes 2-3.8 x 0.6-1.1 mm, oblong to spathulate, glandular-pubescent, hairs up to 0.15-0.25 mm long, glistening glands as well. Corolla tube 2.8-4.2 x 1.8-2 mm, cylindric, throat slightly expanded, mouth dorsoventrally compressed, limb oblique, 5-10 mm across lateral lobes, posticous lobes 1.5-2.7 x 1.7-2.3 mm, anticous lip porrect, anticous lobe 1.5-3.6 x 1.8-3.6 mm, all lobes suborbicular, yellow, deeper yellow in throat and at base of anticous lip, glandular-puberulous outside, hairs c. 0.15 mm long, glistening glands as well, a broad band of clavate hairs in throat extending briefly onto base of lower lip. Stamens: posticous filaments 0.8-1.5 mm long, anthers 0.4-1 mm, anticous filaments 0.5-0.7 mm long, anthers 0.5-1 mm, filaments minutely puberulous. Stigma 0.2-0.4 mm long, included.
