Species description
- Annual glabrescent herb, the erect stems 0.5-3.5 dm. tall, finely glandular-pubescent above nodes. Leaf-blades oblong to nearly oval in general outline but usually strongly pinnatifid-lobed, cut nearly to midrib and the segments sometimes dentate or lobed, all narrowed to petioled bases, or the upper sometimes sessile; pedicels 15-45 mm. long; calyx becoming 8-10 mm. long, strongly plicate-angled, its lobes acute, lower shorter than and upcurving against the uppermost which is usually fully twice as long; corolla 6-13 mm. long, yellow, the throat ventrally with 2 rounded upraised ridges that partially close orifice, these and the raised palate somewhat hairy and brown-spotted or usually distally blotched, lower lip with deflexed-spreading lobes, upper lip shorter and paler, ascending-arched; anthers glabrous; stigmas slightly fimbriate; capsule 6 mm. long, not dehiscing through septum-apex.
