It is endemic to far northern California, where it is known only from the southern Klamath Mountains. It grows in coniferous forest and open mountain slopes. It is an annual herb producing a mostly unbranched erect stem up to 18 centimeters tall. The linear or lance-shaped leaves are up to 3 centimeters long. The hairy, glandular inflorescence is a cyme of five-lobed lavender flowers each no more than half a centimeter long. (contributed by Mary Ann Machi)
