Tufted perennial herb becoming woody at the base; stems mostly 150-300 mm long, many from the crown, decumbent then erect, simple, or very rarely with short sterile (?) axillary shoots, pubescent with both acute and gland-tipped hairs, sometimes nearly confined to two longitudinal bands, leafy. Leaves opposite, becoming alternate upwards, 5-20 x 2-8 mm, scarcely diminishing upwards, oblong-elliptic to obovate, tips obtuse to rounded, base narrowed with a distinct pulvinus, bases connate when leaves opposite, margins crenate-serrate, leathery, glabrous except for minute gland-tipped hairs on lower margins. Inflorescences globose initially, up to c. 15 x 15 mm, usually solitary, rarely subtended by smaller spikes on very short axillary shoots, elongating in fruit. Bracts 5(-6) x 4.5-10 mm, suborbicular, tips rounded or abruptly apiculate, backs minutely glandular-puberulous, margins entire or laciniate, with long delicate hairs. Calyx 3.5-4.5 mm long, segments narrowly to broadly spathulate, free or connate at the very base, delicately membranous, ciliate with acute and gland-tipped hairs. Corolla tube 4-6 mm long, c. 1.5 mm broad, creamy; limb bilabiate, c. 4-5 mm diam., lobes oblong to elliptic, creamy to pale yellow above, creamy below. Stamens all exserted, anthers equal. Capsule c. 4.5 x 3 mm, seeds many (c. 20-25 ovules in each loculus, perhaps only half of which develop), c. 1 x 0.7 mm. From: Hilliard, OM. 1994. The Manuleae: a tribe of Scrophulariaceae.
