is a dioecious, perennial shrub with numerous branches, usually between 30–75 mm (1.2–3.0 in) tall, which can reach 1 m (3 ft 3 in) both in stature and width. Male plants are more upright and female have shorter and more procumbent branches. The leaves are in whorls of three

Despite being dioecious, some plants from the southwest of the
