Blue Butterwort is an upright, smooth perennial. Its preferred habitat is bogs and savannas. Distribution is throughout the Escambia region. The leaves are in a basal rosette, no leaf stalk, ovate to elliptic, acute (tapers at the tip with sides less than equal) to acuminate (tapers to a long point with the sides pinched). The margins have no teeth and no lobes and are usually curled inward. Fruit is a capsule.

The flowers are at the tip of a stem and solitary. Each flower is bisexual in nature and of irrgular form. The calyx is five-lobed; the corolla is two-lipped, five-lobed and spurred. The color is blue to whitish-blue. Two stamens are present. Flowers occur in the spring.
