The lower inflorescence leaves are thinly covered with multiseptate hairs, the upper inflorescence is more densely covered by glandular hairs. The racemiform inflorescence branches are spreading. The flowers are bisexual, meaning that they have both male and female flowers. The achenes are ellipsoid or obovoid.[3]
