Description:— Perennial herb, 10–60 cm tall, multibranched from a woody base. The root base lignified. Stems erect or rising, in base purplish, later green. Stems glabrous or glandular pubescent. Leaves oblong-elliptical or ovate-lanceolate 2– 5.5(–11) cm long, 0.6–2.2(–6) cm wide, base cuneate, margin toothed to lobed and basally rarely 1 or 2 parted, almost incise or lyriform-pinnately incised, apex acute to obtuse, petioles (1–) 3–5.5 cm. Bracts below the inflorescence small, lanceolate 1–2 cm long, 0.2–0.5 cm wide. All leaves mostly glabrous, occasionally scattered glandular pubescent. Inflorescences in cymes 7–35 cm long, narrow, lax, 1–6-flowered; peduncle 0.5–5 cm, glandular pubescent. Bracts along the inflorescence linear or linear-lanceolate, 2–3 mm long, 0.2–0.3 cm wide, glandular pubescent. Calyx 2 mm long, glabrous, rarely glandular at the base, with roundish, purple, narrow-hyaline lobes along the edges, 1.2–1.4 mm long, 1.6–1.9 cm wide. Corolla 4–7 mm long, 2.3–2.6 cm wide, two-lipped, rosy to dark purple-red, upper lip bilobed, the lobes rounded and dark-colored, narrowed at the base, longer than the lateral, lighter lobes of the lower lip. Stamens exposed, as long as the corolla, filaments glandular pubescent, anthers dark purple; staminode 1, oblong, longer than its width, apex blunt. Ovary ovate, dark brown, 1.5 mm; style as long as the ovary. Capsule globose-ovate, 4–6 mm long, 3–4 mm wide, apex very acute. Seeds oblong, dark brown, small 1–1.2 mm long, 0.5–0.7 cm wide.

Ecology:— On gravelly slopes, gravels, rocks in the subalpine and steppe zones, sometimes gravelly floodplains.
