Summary[edit]

Description Prostrate,warm-season, perennial herb forming dense mats up to 1.6 m across. Stems are thick and woody. Grey, hairy, slightly succulent, roughly spoon-shaped leaves are alternately arranged along the stems and 4–25 mm long. Flowers are tiny white to pink, found in the leaf axils and have 5 "petals" and 10 stamens. Fruit are small (2-3 mm across) cup-shaped capsules containing a small number of seeds. Flowering is from spring through to autumn. Not very common, but may be locally abundant, especially in the Hunter Valley. Often forms dense mats on roadsides, lawns, wasteland, and other disturbed areas. Tolerates drought and soil salinity. Most commonly found in areas receiving summer rainfall, on loam soils. Does not persist in areas that are regularly and frequently grazed. Successfully planted to stabilise mine tailing dumps, but has spread from there.
