Plants growing in small clumps about 15-20cm tall at most. Stems squarish and hairy. Flowers of some plants were in shades of pink, while others were more shades of purple. The leaves were paired, hairy, and ranged from a roundish ovate to elliptic. When crushed they initially smelled quite strongly of lemon but this faded quickly to a generally herb-like smell.
