It is an annual herb producing a hairy, branching stem up to about 30 centimeters tall.
Leaves higher on the stem have lance-shaped blades with small separate lobes near the base.
The top of the stem is occupied by a raceme of flowers with light yellow petals each measuring up to a centimeter long.
