Short-flowered Monkeyflower is a slender, glandular annual with branched stems that are up to 10 cm high. The opposite leaves have petioles and narrowly elliptic blades that are 5-20 mm long with entire or sparingly-toothed margins. The long-stalked flowers are borne in the axils of the upper leaves. The glandular, tubular calyx has 5 short lobes. The faintly spotted, yellow, tubular corolla is 4-7 mm long, has 5 nearly equal lobes, and is slightly 2-lipped. The fruit is a round capsule.
