Perennial, aromatic herb, decumbent shoots 10-43 cm arising from the base, sparingly branched with underground runners, sometimes thickened to a tuberous organ from which several branches arise. Stems decumbent, often with small branchlets in the axils of the lower leaves. Leaves sub-sessile, occasionally with petioles up to 3 mm long, ovate-cordate, 10-25 x 7-22 mm, serrate, 4-8 teeth. Flowers usually solitary. Very rarely further branches arise from the axils of the bracteoles forming small foliose cymes with up to 4 flowers. Peduncles 5-14 mm long, bibracteolate in the distal half, pedicels 3-9 mm long. Bracteoles resembling the leaves, 5-11 x 3-10 mm. Calyx in flower 7-8 mm long; tube subcampanulate, 4-5 mm long, 15-nerved; calyx teeth 5, subequal, triangular-lanceolate, 3-5 mm long, usually about as long as tube or longer; calyx in fruit 9-10 mm long. Corolla pale to deep cobalt-violet, 20-24 mm long; tube 11-17 mm long, subcylindric at base (up to 4 mm), flattened-campanulate above, 7-9 mm wide at throat, c. 2 mm wide at base, two ridges inside tube on lower side, pubescent and gland-dotted outside, with long thick hairs inside chiefly on the two ridges; upper lip emarginate, slightly reflexed, 2.5 x 7-10 mm, pilose and gland-dotted outside, glabrous in side; lower lip straight with tips curved downwards, 3-lobed, lateral lobes emarginate or entire, 4 x 5-6 mm, sparingly pilose and golden gland-dotted outside, glabrous inside, median lobe emarginate, 4.5 x 6 mm, glabrous outside and inside, several scattered marks in darker violet on upper surface. Upper stamens c. 7 mm long, shortly decurrent, lower pair c. 3 mm long; filaments glabrous; anther cells parallel, c. 1 mm long with 6-14 head-like yellow glands inserted situated ventrally on the connective between the cells. Style 10-13 mm long; stigma lobes acute, unequal, the posticous shorter. Nutlets c. 3.5 x c. 3.5 x 2.5 mm. From: Brauchler, C; Doroszenko, A; Esser, H; Heubl, G. 2008.

Leaves sessile to subsessile; blade broadly ovate to subrotund, 15-20 x 10-18 mm, glandular-pubescent, apex rounded, base subcordate, margin obscurely few-toothed. Flowers solitary in the axils of the upper leaves; pedicels 10-20 mm long with a pair of leaf-like bracts about the middle. Calyx glandular-hispid, up to 10 mm long, deeply toothed. Corolla mauve, 18-20 mm long; tube campanulate, 14-16 mm long; upper lip 2.5 mm long; lower lip 4 mm long. From: Codd, LEW. 1985. Lamiaceae: 15. Satureja. In: OA Leistner (ed.). Fl. S.

The species has affinities to K. pilosa but differs in decumbent stems (instead of prostrate to decumbent), shorter internodes, shorter and stouter pedicels, larger flowers, bracteoles and nutlets and the absence of particularly long overground runners. The leaves have a sharp mentha-like scent. This taxon occupies drier environments than Killickia pilosa. From: Brauchler, C; Doroszenko, A; Esser, H; Heubl, G. 2008.
