DESCRIPTION
Aromatic perennial, 50-100 cm high, stems erect, out-spreading, many-branched from base to above, covered with short antrorse hairs and sessile glands on young parts, length of lower internodes 15-35 mm, length of inflorescence internodes 10-25 mm. Leaves sessile, recurved, stem leaves mostly linear-narrow elliptic, rarely linear or narrow elliptic or oblanceolate, conduplicate, 10-25 mm long, 2.5-4 mm wide, blade tip obtuse or acute, covered with short hairs and sessile glands on both surfaces, floral leaves similar in shape to the stem leaves, 1-1.5 mm long, 0.3-0.5 mm wide. Verticillasters approximate, 2-6 flowers in verticillaster, flowers sessile or pedicellate, peduncle up to 1.5-3 mm (if present), pedicel up to 1-2 mm (if present). Calyx green, campanulate-tubular, covered with short hairs and sessile glands on the outside, 3-3.5 mm, calyx teeth triangular, inferior teeth 0.5-1 mm, superior teeth 0.5-0.8 mm. Corolla blade violet sometimes with dark violet spots, tube whitish, 6-7 mm long. Stamens exserted from the tube. Style exserted from the tube. Nutlets elliptic, 1.2-1.5 mm long, 0.5-0.7 mm wide, brown to dark brown.
REMARKS
This species is similar to S. bachtiarica in the form of inflorescence and small flowers but differs mainly in stem indumentum (antrorse hairs vs retrorse or rarely spreading hairs), color of corolla blade (violet vs whitish), ratio of the length of lower to the length of upper calyx teeth (1.2-1.6 vs 1.5 to 2.4), the shape of calyx (campanulate-tubular vs campanulate), and the length of calyx (3-3.5 mm vs 2.5-3 mm).
