The stem leaves are simple and opposite, fan-shaped to round, 0.3–1.5 cm long and 0.3–1.7 cm wide, with 5–10 rounded teeth.
The petiole is about 0.2–1 cm long.
A flower stalk 4–10 cm tall is produced.

The calyx lobes are ovate with rounded tips and turn green after flowering.
There are 8 stamens, which stand upright at flowering and are shorter than the calyx lobes; the anthers before splitting open are bright yellow.
