About Sairocarpus nuttallianus (A.DC.) D.A.Sutton

Sairocarpus nuttallianus is an annual or biennial herb. It grows an erect, vinelike stem that sometimes clings to objects for support, but does not twine as tightly as many other snapdragons. Its stems, leaves, and floral calyx are all covered in glandular hairs. The flowers are light purple with veining and white patches, and measure around one centimeter long. Each flower grows from a short pedicel.
