It is a small annual herb growing a hairy, branching stem generally under 15 centimeters tall. The bunched leaves are widely lance-shaped and 1 to 3 centimeters long. The inflorescence bears one or more flowers with usually four tiny bright yellow petals. The fruit is a flat capsule up to a centimeter long.
