Flowers are borne in racemes with 8-15 flowers. Capsules are 4-6 mm wide. Sprawling Speedwell is generally characterized by being more low-grown than subsp. serpyllifolia, with efficiently rooting branches forming carpets, shorter racemes also in fruiting stage, a dark brownish pubescence, presence of dark glandular hairs in the inflorescence vs. eglandular in subsp. serpyllifolia, flower-stalks longer than the sepal-cup, flowers slightly larger, petals sky blue vs. very pale blue to white with bluish stripes in subsp. serpyllifolia, and capsule with a wedge-shaped base vs. rounded. Sprawling Speedwell is found in the Himalayas, and probably in other parts of Temperate World.
