Leaves alternate, fascicled, largest primary leaves 7-35 x 1-7 mm, smaller upwards (also axillary leaves smaller), oblong to elliptic, apex acute, callose-tipped, base tapering, margins thickened, usually entire, sometimes with up to 4 pairs of teeth, glandular-punctate, scabrid hairs 0.1-0.15(-0.2)mm long confined to margins and midline on both surfaces, sometimes wanting on upper midline. Inflorescence a compact corymbose panicle up to 40-90 mm in diam., individual racemes with up to c. 10 flowers, these crowded. Bract adnate to pedicel and base of calyx tube, blade of lowermost 1.8-2.3 x 0.9-1.3 mm, elliptic, apex ± obtuse, deeply concave, ± embracing calyx, strongly keeled, margins membranous, broad, pale, keel scabrid, hairs c. 0.1 mm long, occasionally also on upper margins.

Calyx 1.7-2.1 mm long, campanulate, subequally 5-lobed, lobes 0.5-0.8 mm long, mostly obtuse or rounded, often ± toothed or abruptly apiculate, minutely glandular on anticous side, otherwise glabrous or with hairs 0.1 mm long on margins. Corolla tube 1.6-2.2 mm long, broadly funnel-shaped, limb 3-5 mm across lateral lobes, posticous lobes 0.8-1.8 x 0.7-1.1 mm, anticous lobe 1.3-3 x 0.7-1.5 mm, all lobes oblong-elliptic, white. Stamens: posticous filaments 1-1.7 mm long, anthers shortly to well exerted; anticous filaments 1.4-2.4 mm long, anthers well exerted. Stigma and style 1.6-3.1 mm long, style puberulous.

The trivial name tarachodes refers to the confusion that has prevailed over the identity of this species, previously determined as either.S. woodii (that is, S. peduncularis) or S. hyssopifolia; see under S. hyssopifolia for details of the original collections made by Drège and bearing the name S. hyssopifolia.Selago tarachodes is probably more closely allied to S. peduncularis than to S. hyssopifolia (which is easily distinguished inter alia by its smaller flowers). The flowers of S. tarachodes and S. peduncularis are similar, and the pedicels in S. tarachodes are sometimes as long as those in S. peduncularis, but the two species have strikingly different inflorescences; the individual racemes of S. tarachodes are composed of up to c. 10 flowers and are arranged in a compact corymbose panicle; the individual racemes of S. peduncularis are many-flowered, and the primary terminal raceme may eventually be overtopped by lateral branchlets each bearing a terminal raceme; in well-grown specimens the whole forms a loose panicle. In S. tarachodes the hairs on the leaves are more or less confined to the margins and the midlines either on both surfaces or the lower surface only; in S. peduncularis, hairs are scattered all over the upper surface.
