Inflorescence spicate, slender, loosely flowered; bracts linear lanceolate, ca. 2 mm long. Flowers blue to purple, ca. 2 mm long, 5-toothed, puberulous outside; corolla ca. 4 mm long, puberulous; ovary glabrous.

<i>Verbena litoralis</i> Kunth, a native of North America and widely distributed worldwide, is probably introduced and naturalized in Taiwan. A specimen of <i>Verbena</i> (M. T. Kao 10859) collected at Chuchia, Chiayi, is very similar to this species.
