This shrub is generally wider than it is tall and often lies prostrate in a mat on the ground. The younger branches are hairy and somewhat feltlike in texture. The distinctive evergreen leaves are oval to almost rectangular and have a cupped, rippled surface. The edges are toothed with tiny glandular knobs and the shiny surface may be dotted with more knobs. The underside of the leaf is fuzzy to hairy. The inflorescences are borne on short, stout stalks and the tiny flowers are lavender to blue with prominent yellow-anthered blue stamens.
