It is a small annual herb with many branches bearing dark, slightly hairy, lance-shaped leaves, the most basal ones having three small teeth. The inflorescence is a cluster of several flowers each about a centimeter wide. The star-shaped flower has pointed violet lobes with yellowish bases coming together at a purple throat.
