About Kickxia elatine (L.) Dumort.
Kickxia elatine (L.) Dumort. is a small, hairy herb with a trailing, multi-branched stem. Oval to arrowhead-shaped fuzzy leaves grow at wide intervals along its slender stem. Solitary, snapdragon-like spurred flowers grow on long, straight pedicels. Each flower reaches up to 1.5 centimeters long, with a narrow, pointed spur extending from its back. The lobes of the flower mouth are yellow, white, and purple, and the entire flower is fuzzy to hairy. Unlike Kickxia spuria, which has a hairy flower stalk, the flower stalk of Kickxia elatine is more or less hairless. Its fruit is a spherical capsule around 4 millimeters long.
