Leaves, with 5-30mm-long, 3-5.5cm-wide petioles, are in the shape of a long-oblong, and there exist fine hairs on the veins on the surfaces; the leaf margins have serration. Spikes, 5-12cm long, emerge from leaf axils and bloom labiate flowers facing one side. The corollas, white, are approximately 7mm in size.
