Leaves: radical with blade c. 5-18 x 2-8 mm, elliptic tapering into a broad flat petiolar part c. 3-15 mm long (nearly equalling to up to half as long as blade), margins entire to sparsely toothed, they and the upper surface with scattered eglandular hairs up to 0.4-0.6 mm long, lower surface glabrous; cauline leaves c. 4-15 x 0.8-3.2 mm, elliptic briefly narrowed at the base, otherwise as the radical leaves. Flowers loosely panicled, inflorescence branches up to 50 mm long. Pedicels up to 1.5-3 mm long, filiform. Bracts adnate nearly to apex of calyx, c. 5-12 x 0.8-2.2 mm, oblong-lanceolate, entire, coarse eglandular hairs up to 0.4-0.6 mm long on margins and tip of inner face, a few tiny almost sessile glands as well, backs glabrous. Calyx c. 5-6.25 mm long, lips c. 1 mm long, margins very shortly pubescent, otherwise glabrous except for minute ± sessile glands. Corolla tube c. 7-8.5 mm long (throat c. 2-3 mm in diam.), minutely glandular on upper part and on outside of lobes, limb zygomorphic, anticous lip c. 3.5-6 x 3.6-5 mm, broadly elliptic, white, posticous lip c. 6-10 x 8-10 mm, 4-lobed, lobes roughly 3.5 x 3 mm, oblong-elliptic, the two posticous ones united for about half their length, all yellow, palate orange, bearded at the base with clavate hairs c. 1 mm long, running down back of tube to point of insertion of stamens. Stamens 2, filaments c. 2-5 mm long, bearded at base with clavate hairs c. 0.3 mm long, anthers 2-2.75 mm long, well exserted; staminodes 2, c. 0.5-0.7 mm long, exserted. Stigma c. 4-5.5 mm long, exserted. Style 3.5-6 mm long. Ovary 3-4 x 1.5-2 mm Capsules 7-8 x 3.54 mm Seeds c. 0.8-1 x 0.6-0.8 mm.
