Leaves ''of main stem'' alternate, deeply divided into 3 linear to thread-like segments, 20–40 mm; ''of the branches'' entire, few and remote. Inflorescences "leafy" 2—4 flowered small capitate spikes, 15–20 mm, head-like; ''bracts'' gland-tipped, of 2 kinds: those ''subtending the spike'' 4–7, linear-lanceolate, palmately divided (lobes 3 in lower ½), 10–20 mm; those ''subtending each flower'' entire or pinnately divided, 12–18 mm, elliptical, acute, entire, arched outward, purplish. Flower '' calyx'' purplish, 10–15 mm (shorter than the inner floral bract), tube 2–4 mm, tip bifid 2—3 mm deep, ca 1/3 of the calyx length; ''corolla'' 10–20 mm, erect, straight or nearly so, maroon, puberulent with reflexed hairs; lips subequal in length: galea pale, whitish, with a yellow-tip, finely pubescent and dark purple dorsally: lower lip shorter than upper: throat moderately inflated, 4–6 mm wide; ''stamens'' 2: filaments glabrous or nearly so, dilated above base and forming a U-shaped curve near the anther: anther sac 1 (with vestiges of a second), ciliate.
