Perennial herb well branched from the base, branches rooting from lowermost nodes, up to 1 mm diam., prostrate or diffuse, leafy throughout, glandular-pubescent, hairs patent, up to 0.4-0.5 mm long. Leaves opposite below becoming alternate upwards and passing imperceptibly into floral bracts, blade of largest leaves c. 4-10 x 4-8 mm, ovate to rhomboid in outline, base cuneate and passing abruptly into a flat petiolar part c. 3-7 mm long, about equalling the blade or up to c. half its length, upper margins deeply and coarsely toothed, 2-3(-4) pairs each side, both surfaces glandular-pubescent, hairs up to 0.4-0.5 mm long. Flowers solitary in upper leaf axils forming long lax leafy racemes. Bracts leaf-like throughout, adnate to base of pedicel only. Pedicels: lower ones 2.5-6 mm long, slightly shorter upwards. Calyx obscurely bilabiate, tube 0.5-1.2 mm long, anticous lobes 1.8-2.5 x 0.6-0.9 mm, anticous lip split 1.5-2.6 mm, calyx glandular-pubescent all over. Corolla tube 3-4 mm long, cylindric in lower half and there 0.75-1 mm broad, abruptly expanded above, c. 1.5-2 mm across mouth, whole corolla glandular-puberulous outside, limb 4-6 mm across lateral lobes, posticous lobes 0.5-1.5 x 1-1.5 mm, anticous lobe 1.25-2 x 1.25-2 mm, all lobes subrotund, white with an orange patch at base of posticous lip and extending down back of tube, glabrous. Stamens 4, exserted, posticous filaments decurrent more than halfway down tube, all anthers 0.4-0.6 mm long. Style well exserted. Capsules 2.5-3 x 2-2.5 mm Seeds up to 8 in each loculus, 0.75-1 x 0.6 mm, obscurely or 4-angled, one face obscurely wrinkled, testa cream-coloured. Flowers can possibly be found in any month, but November to February may be the main season. From: Hilliard, OM. 1994. The Manuleae: a tribe of Scrophulariaceae.

Glandular-hairy perennial with sprawling, rooting branches. Leaves opposite becoming alternate above and passing into bracts. Flowers solitary in upper axils on long pedicels, tube short and glandular-hairy, white with orange patch at base of lower lobes and down back of tube. From: Manning, JC; Goldblatt, P. 2012.

It is easily recognized by its sprawling rooting branches with the flowers borne singly on long pedicels in all the upper leaf axils. These long pedicels (lower ones c. 2.5-6 mm) will at once distinguish T. longipedicellata from T. glutinosa (pedicels 1-3 mm), but it also differs in its inflorescences (flowers never running up into definite racemes), smaller flowers (corolla tube 3-4 mm long versus mostly 4-7.5 mm, anticous lobe 1.25-2 mm versus mostly 2.5-5 mm), glabrous at the base of the posticous lip (not with clavate hairs), and smaller, rounder capsules (2.5-3 x 2-2.5 mm versus 4-5 x 2.5-3 mm) with fewer seeds (up to 8 in each loculus versus many). The two species appear to be allopatric. The closest ally of T. longipedicellata may be T. schlechteri; they have similar flowers arranged in very lax inflorescences, but the bracts of T. schlechteri are never leaflike; they are linear and less than 1 mm broad.
