Willowy monardella is a perennial herb or subshrub in the mint family. This plant grows in clumps made up of 1-4 individual plants. Due to the difficulty in distinguishing the number of separate plants that comprise a clump (without damaging the roots), occurrences of the plant are identified as clumps, rather than a number of individual plants.

Willowy monardella grows in coastal sage scrub and riparian scrub in sandy bottoms and on banks of ephemeral washes in canyons. It is only known from three watersheds north of Kearny Mesa in San Diego County.
