Buglossoides zollingeri is a perennial herb with a height of 15-20cm. It inhabits dry grasslands or forest edges in fields and mountains, with coarse hairs. As flowering finishes, it extends branches, crawling sideways to make shoots at the terminals for propagation. Leaves are of alternate phyllotaxis, each in an oblanceolate shape, 2-6cm long. Flowers are blue and measure 1.5-1.8cm in diameter. Bloom time: April-May.
