Scutellaria alpina can reach a height of 10–30 centimetres. It is a small rhizomatous perennial plant. The stems are square, prostrate-ascending, branched, woody at the base and hairy. Leaves are arranged in opposite pairs, pubescent, oval, rounded at the base, 2-3 cm long, with a short petiole and crenulate margins. Inflorescence is a terminal tetragonal spike. The flowers are blue-violet or purple-white, 2.5-3 cm long. They bloom from June to August.

I think it could be Scutellaria or from the same family.
