Diagnostic Characteristics:
Plants are slender and decumbent (not erect), stems glandular-pubescent. Scutellaria are mints with a prominent protuberance on the upper corolla; this species is distinguished from other Scutellaria by having flowers in terminal few-flowered racemes (some may be in the leaf axils as well) and they have bracts underneath (subtending) the calyx. These bracts are different from the leaves which are coarsely serrate pubescent , petioled and ovate-shaped. Stems are glandular pubescent.
