These plants lack leaves. Stem & branches are modified as main photosynthetic structures. The Stem is jointed. Flowers are said to be fine and present in scales. The fruit of this plant is round and green. Capsule is hard and it contains many seeds that are hairy. The seeds are dimorphic.
The Walmajarri people of the southern Kimberley call this plant Mungily.[2]
