Description:
Perennial shrubs to 80 cm high, with branches more or less quadrangular, usually much-branched, more or less densely covered with spreading glandular or eglandular hairs; leaves simple, sessile, obovate, 0.8-3 x 0.6-2 cm, with a more or less pronounced cuneate base, with 5-17 teeth or serrations, with 3-5 main veins from the base, with margins sometimes recurved, with few spreading hairs, glandular or eglandular above and together with many sessile glands on the undersurface.

Inflorescence a spike-like thyrse without a distinct peduncle, rarely branched, with cymose part-inflorescences, stalked or sessile, 1-3-flowered with subulate bracts and subtended by leaf-like bracts and with internodes more or less visible between flowering nodes; sepals regularly connate to about half their length, 10-veined, 6-8 mm long or to 10 mm when fruiting, with pointed lobes, with spreading hairs, glandular or eglandular, and with sessile glands often even on the inside of the lobes; corolla white, 1-lipped, with 2 posterior lobes longer or subequal to 2 lateral ones and usually a longer central one, with spreading hairs and sessile glands outside, and inside with spreading hairs around the stamens and particularly in front of the anterior pouch; stamens 4, inserted near the base of the corolla tube, with filaments hairy at the base; anthers 2-celled, exserted, with filaments curved from posterior to anterior above the lip; ovary on a thick disk, scarcely 4-lobed, with a slender style inserted near the apex and curved like the stamens, with a 2-fid stigma.

Mericarps narrowly oblong-obovoid, c. 3 mm long, not keeled, with the attachment scar a large concavity in the lower half of the inner surface and with a prominent tooth in its middle, vaguely rugose, with few hairs and many sessile glands.
