          Annual herbs about 10-40 cm tall. Stems decumbent as well as procumbent, rarely erect, pubescent, strigose, hairy slightly deflexed, acutely 4 angular. Leaves opposite, subsessile or sessile, triangular-cordate, or ovate, pinnatisect, 2-5 x 1.5-2.5 cm across, base acuminate, gradually narrowing, margin revolute, coarsely toothed with oblong to ovate divisions or 1-5, pinnatisect, apex acute, margin veins adaxially impressed. Inflorescence raceme spikes, 1-3 spikes, young inflorescence seems to dense, but fruits become looser and remote as they become mature, rachis minutely sessile to short stipitate-glandular, bracts linear lanceolate, shorter than the calyx, Flowers sessile, zygomorphic, Calyx 5 toothed, about 2 mm long, glandular pubescent, Corolla hypocrateriform 5 lobed, blue to violet, lobes unequal, glabrous, apex emarginated, Corolla tube 2-2.5 mm slightly longer than the calyx, stamens 4, didynamous, filaments filiform, inserted in the middle of the corolla tube, anthers ovoid, white, Ovary superior, entire or 4 lobed at the apex, 4 loculed, 1 ovule per locule, style short, stigma 2 lobed. Fruit schizocarp, splits open when ripe.
