Stem glabrous or with variable pilosity, more or less reddish, very branched radiating, spread on the ground, reaching 30 cm length. Leaves simple, opposite, numerous, short-stalked, from 3 to 10 mm in diameter, broadly oval, with an asymmetrical base, finely toothed margin and rounded or broadly wedge-shaped apex.
