Stem 50-120 cm tall, erect, almost cylindrical at the base, ribbed-striped above, leafy, often blackish-red, sparsely covered with branched hairs, sometimes branched above, and the branches never reach the top of the main stem.
The leaves are green above, planted with scattered stellate hairs, below are more densely pubescent , less often naked or almost naked, or white-white. The basal leaves are long petiolate, the petiole sometimes reaches 20 cm long, their plate is 15-30 cm long, 5-15 cm wide, cordate-ovate or cordate-oblong, with a slightly cordate or at least rounded base, biconate-dentate at the edges. Middle stem leaves are petiolate; the upper ones are almost sessile, from the heart-shaped or chopped base, ovoid or lanceolate, along the edge of the town-dentate.
Inflorescence is an apical, rather thick brush , usually not branched, sometimes with lateral branches. The flowers are collected in bunches of 5-10, individual bunches spaced or connected. Bracts linear, of the same length with longer pedicels or even exceeding them. Pedicels, like bracts, pubescent, not thickening, longer, reach 5-12 mm in length. Calyx 3.5-4 mm long, almost to the base divided into narrow, linear lobes. Corolla yellow (very rarely white), in the throat with brownish spots, with translucent dots, outside lined with star-shaped hairs. The filaments of the anterior stamens at the apex are bare, densely seated at the base with purple papillary hairs; three posterior stamens are covered with the same hairs along the entire length; anthers are all kidney-shaped. The column is bare or scattered hairy at the base. The stigma is pressed, hemispherical. Flowering in June-July.
Capsule widely elliptically backward, 4-5 mm long, obtuse, without nose, slightly or nearly twice as large as cup; pubescence of the box is not falling.
The view is described from Western Europe.
