The stem is stiff, square, and upright, typically 8-30 cm tall, and often branches out significantly towards the top. Leaves are oval-shaped, pale green, smooth, and glossy, with no divisions along their edges. The lower leaves are broader than those higher up, tapering at the base and rounded at the tip, forming a spreading tuft at the plant's base. In contrast, the stem leaves above are pointed and lance-shaped, growing in pairs on the stem at intervals, before giving way to clusters of star-like flowers with five-pointed corollas, which are rose-colored and flat-topped.The entire plant is utilized in medicinal applications.
