The leaves are ovate-spatulate to oblong-lanceolate, with toothed edges and a long petiole. The length of the leaves is 3–5 centimetres (1.2–2.0 in) [3] and the width 0.5 to 2 cm. 5–20 millimetres (0.20–0.79 in).
The flowers are gathered in a dense terminal spike and are usually yellowish-white, stained by purple or brown spots. The calyx is 5–10 centimetres (2.0–3.9 in) long. The flowering period extends from July through October. The flowers are hermaphrodite and pollinated by insects (entomophily). The fruit are achenes about 2 mm long, rounded, chestnut-brown and smooth or very finely punctured.
