The plant is 7-50 cm high. The stems are covered with soft hairs below the nodes, and little or no thickening. The leaves are oblong to lanceolate and have an edge or a gift of four pairs of excellent little jagged edges.


The plant blooms from June into autumn with purple, 1.6 to 2 cm (sometimes to 28 cm) long, flowers arranged in a show ring. The lip is a yellow spot and the upper lip is weakly toothed.


Narrow twist occurs on cropland and on railroads.
