Annual herb, stems 50-300 mm long, simple and then erect or branched from the base, branches decumbent, ascending, or sometimes prostrate, pilose, hairs mostly 0.75-1.5 mm long, retrorse, sometimes appressed on upper parts, tending to spread on lower parts, sometimes glandular-puberulous as well, these hairs very small, patent, leafy at least below, sometimes becoming scapose upwards. Leaves opposite below, alternate above, blade of lowermost few pairs (8-) 13-34 x (2-)4-8(-12) mm, elliptic tapering ± gradually to a petiolar part c. 3-15(-24) mm long, diminishing in size (particularly width) upwards, becoming narrowly elliptic to linear and sessile, margins distinctly to obscurely serrate, upper surface thinly pilose, hairs on lower surface nearly confined to midrib, hairs c. 0.5-1.5 mm long. Flowers up to c. 9(-15) in small heads elongating into short racemes (the lowermost flowers then often distant), solitary at tips of nude or bracteate peduncles. Bracts c. 3.5-9 x 0.5-1.3 mm, more or less oblong or subspathulate, adnate to pedicel and calyx tube, glabrous or nearly so on the backs, thinly pilose on inner surface, long (l-2 mm) patent hairs on margins. Pedicels at base of inflorescences 0.5-1.25(- 2) mm long, shorter upwards. Calyx obscurely bilabiate, tube 0.75-1 mm long, anticous lobes 2-3 x 0.5-1 mm, pilose, hairs c. 0.5-1 mm long, mainly on margins and keels. Corolla tube c. 2.25-4 x 1-1.5 mm, limb 3.25-7 mm across the lateral lobes, posticous lobes 0.4-1.5 x 0.4-1.3 mm, anticous lobe 1.3-3.25 x 0.75-1.75 mm, all lobes elliptic-oblong, probably always creamy-coloured to pale yellow, base of posticous lip and inside of tube marked with patches of orange or yellow, outside of lobes often with dark blotching or feathering, base of posticous lip bearded, hairs sometimes extending to 2 or 3 of the anticous lobes. Stamens 4, base of anticous filaments sometimes bearded, with or without an arc of hairs linking bases of filaments, anthers 0.4-1 mm long, yellow or orange. Stigma exserted. Capsules 3.5-5.5 x 2-3 mm Seeds c. 0.5 x 0.3 mm, obscurely angled and colliculate, mauveish underlaid by the coppery-coloured endosperm. Flowering mainly in August and September, in fruit by October.

Annual, up to 300 mm tall, hairs on stems mostly eglandular, retrorse. Leaves petiolate, elliptic, toothed.

Annual to 30 cm. Leaves elliptic, toothed. Flowers in small heads elongating into racemes, cream-coloured to pale yellow with patches of orange at base of upper lobes and inside tube. From: Manning, JC; Goldblatt, P. 2012. Scrophulariaceae: Phyllopodium Benth. In: J Manning & P Goldblatt (eds), Plants of the Greater Cape Floristic Region 1: The Core Cape flora.

Phyllopodium heterophyllum bears a strong superficial resemblance to P. cordatum, from which it can most easily be distinguished by its leaves and bracts, both glabrous or nearly so on the backs (hairs are present on the margins) whereas in P. cordatum the leaves and bracts are pilose on both surfaces. In large plants of P. heterophyllum the side branches are strongly decumbent or prostrate, whereas they may always be erect in P. cordatum (this needs confirmation); also, the stems of P. heterophyllum tend to be more leafy than those of P. cordatum, the leaves are mostly elliptic tapering gradually at both ends (generally ovate and abruptly contracted at the base in P. cordatum, though this does not always hold, just as leaves in P. heterophyllum can occasionally be ovate). The flowers of P. heterophyllum always have an orange or yellow blotch at the base of the posticous lip and are further patterned with purplish or brownish lines or blotches, whereas in P. cordatum the corolla seems to lack any patterning. There may be a constant difference too in basic flower colour, that of P. heterophyllum being shades of yellow, that of P. cordatum pale cream or white. The ripe seeds of P. heterophyllum are a peculiar shade of mauve overlying amber, while those of P. cordatum are creamy-coloured. This may be a real difference, although it is commonplace for unripe seeds that will eventually turn blue or mauve to be cream-coloured at first. From: Hilliard, OM. 1994.
