The basal leaves are long-stalked and their leaf blades are heart-shaped or rounded at the base, pointed and blunt-toothed and three to eight times as long as they are wide. The upper stem leaves are narrow-lanceolate and sessile.

The light blue-violet corolla measures 7 to 12 millimeters and is straight before blooming. The stylus towers over the corolla and usually ends in three stigmas.

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 24.

Occurrence

The ziestblättrige devil's claw occurs from France, Switzerland to Italy and from Germany to Austria to the former Yugoslavia . It occurs in the Alps in subalpine to alpine altitudes at altitudes of 1000 to 2700 meters. In the Allgäu Alps, it rises from 1,300 meters on the Grünten on the Schwandalpe to an altitude of 2,380 meters on the Rothornspitze .
