A densely tufted perennial with woody sts. and branches, procumbent: lvs. narrowed into the stout petiole, ovate, obtuse, deeply cre- nate toothed or lyrate-pinnatifid : heads depressed- hemispherical; fls. lilac-pink; corolla 2-lipped, upper 2-lobed, lobes short rounded; lower 3-lobed, lobes ovate, obtuse.
