The purplish-green, stalked leaves are in opposite pairs.
The leaf blades are hairless and are elliptical or ovate with a rounded tip and shallowly rounded teeth on the margin.
The inflorescence forms a dense raceme and is composed of whorls of blue flowers, each with dark veins on the lower lip. The calyx has five toothed lobes and the corolla forms a two-lipped flower about 14 to 17 mm (0.6 to 0.7 in) long with a short tube. The upper lip of each flower is short and flat with a smooth edge and the lower lip is three-lobed, the central lobe being the largest, flat with a notched tip.
