Description
This wildflower grows short, branching, spreading stems up to 20 centimeters in length. The leaves are mainly located in a basal rosette at the ground-level, but are also sparsely distributed along the stems. The herbage may have a coating of white cobweb-like fibers and hairlike glands.
The inflorescence holds one to several small flowers, each under a centimeter wide and bright lavender in color. The throat of the flower is white or yellowish with purple veining and the style and stamens protrude slightly.
