Summary

Description Native, warm season to yearlong green, perennial, succulent, mostly decumbent, spreading herbs to 30 cm tall and rooting at the nodes. Flowerheads are terminal and spike-like, with 5–9-flowered clusters in the axil of leaf-like bracts. Flowers are inconspicuous, bisexual, but occasionally functionally unisexual, 3- or 4-lobed and membranous. The fruiting perianth becomes dry and falls with the fruit. Flowering occurs over most of year. Mostly found in coastal areas and frequently in habitats periodically inundated by salt water. May form large patches. Has limited grazing value as it does not readily recover from defoliation, trampling or fire. Forage energy and crude protein levels are moderate.
