Leaves: Opposite, with short petioles; blades ovate to lanceolate-ovate 0.8 to 1.6 inches long, once or twice pinnately-lobed; hairy but without glands. Inflorescence: Short, dense terminal spikes of showy pink-purple, sometimes white blossoms, each with 5 petals and subtended by a bractlet shorter or about the same length as the calyx which is sparsely to moderately covered with glandular hairs.

| Description |
Habitat: Various soils (sand, clay, caliche) in fields, desert scrub, open areas, beaches and waste ground. Plant: Prostrate to ascending short-lived perennial or annual, hairy stems branched from base up to 10 inches tall. Leaves: Opposite, short-petiolate or sessile with blades ovate in outline and pinnately-cleft into 3 segments, each segment lobed and incised; overall up to 1-1/4 inches long; surfaces and margins hairy but without glands. Inflorescence: Dense terminal spikes becoming elongated; small tubular white blossoms (often with tinges of purple or lavender), 1/8-inch across, each with 5 notched lobes of unequal length. Bloom Period: February to August. References: "The Manual of Vascular Plants of Texas" by Correll and Johnston, "Texas Wildflowers" by Michael Eason, and Texas Species of Glandularia (Verbenaceae) by B. L. Turner. Note: These images show what would appear to be two different species with different leaf shapes and the spike lengths, but there is now only one recognized Glandularia with white blossoms in Texas. |
