Inflorescence terminal, a dense aggregate of sessile cymes in axils of reduced floral leaves. Bracts and bracteoles similar to floral leaves but smaller, always pubescent, narrowly lanceolate to oblanceolate, 7-14 mm long, apex acute or obtuse. Corolla 7-11 mm long, pale to greenish yellow with bright yellow lower lip, lower lip may have a dark stripe down each lobe. Pollen 3-colporate, 42-58 µm long, areolate.

Perennial, dwarf shrub or herb, 0.1-1.0 m high. Leaves nearly glabrous to densely white-pilose, especially on veins and margins when very young, lanceolate to broadly ovate. Inflorescence a terminal, dense aggregate of sessile cymes in axils of reduced floral leaves. Bracts and bracteoles similar to floral leaves but smaller. Flowering time all year. Fruit a 4-seeded capsule.
