Cannibal herb, perennial herb with rhizomes. Clump height 20 a l50 cm, clump diameter 1-3 meters. There are two types of roots: one is a long root, the number of small, not divergent, into the soil depth of up to 1 meter or less, and the other is a fibrous root, to the four sides of the extension, densely spread in the soil layer of 30-40 cm deep.

The root system is well-developed, and the stalks are erect, tough, and not easy to fall over. Leaves alternate, epidermal cells with a large number of milky protrusions, so that water is not easy to penetrate; the abaxial surface of the leaf has salt glands, the root absorbed most of the salts by the body from here. Panicles. flowering successively in May--November, fruiting in October--December, with a low fruiting rate. Mature seeds are easily shed and can be dispersed by tidal drift to places near and far.
