Phacelia longipes is an annual herb growing decumbent or erect to a maximum length of about 40 centimeters.[citation needed] It is glandular and coated lightly in soft and stiff hairs.[citation needed] Most of the leaves are low on the plant, the toothed oval blades borne on long petioles.[citation needed] The hairy, glandular inflorescence is a one-sided curving or coiling cyme of bell-shaped flowers.[citation needed] Each flower is roughly a centimeter long and white to light blue in color.[citation needed] It has a calyx of linear sepals and five long, protruding stamens.[citation needed]
