Annual plant. The root 10 - 15 (20) cm long, shallowly, slightly branched. Stem (30) 40 - 90 (100) cm high, upstraight, barely or almost from the base with long, straight, upward branches, with four edges or with vaguely four edges with narrow, sometimes shortly bristly rough edges, shortly even to scattered fiber, hairs flat, soft, 1 - 2 mm long, protruding. The basal leaves back lance, 30 - 35 mm long, 8 - 12 mm wide, gradually narrowed in short narrow-winged stem or almost sitting down, in the period of flowering, dry, short fibrous; in the middle, the stem leaves narrowly lance, narrow to broadly lance, 45 - 90 (95) mm long, 7 - 11 (12) mm wide, sitting down, shallowly dull jagged, gradually tapered or on the top rounded, bare fibrous or predominantly bottom surface scattered fibrous; the hairs 0.5 - 1.5 mm long. Inflorescence whispering, oblong, loose, with many blossoms. The calyx shares striking, 4 - 10 mm long, more or less spread out, bare, with the edges with 1 - 2 (3) short (0,1 - 0,3 mm) upward teeth, the fruit 12 - 20 mm long at the base 2 - 2.3 mm wide, curved or twisted, up to 2 times longer than the box. Corolla (16) 18 - 25 mm long, blue or pale blue, funnel with a tube almost equal to or slightly longer than the corolla shares, inside with long silky hairs. Stamens 4 - 6.5 mm long, with short, basically upwardly expanded silk fibrous stems; anthers 3,5 - 4 mm, 1,7 - 2,5 times longer than the stamen stems. The box narrowly back conical, (6) 7 - 10 mm long, thin skinny, bare, rarely unevenly covered with small white warts, with 10 protruding veins.
