It has weak stems that form a dense, prostrate ground cover. The flowers (8-11 mm) are sky-blue with dark stripes and a white center, and they are zygomorphic (they only have one plane of symmetry, which is vertical).

How nice to know they are in Chile and Argentina, too. I think they're lovely little flowers.
