Notes
Crofton weed is a shrubby perennial with a woody rootstock and numerous upright branching stems. It usually grows 1 to 2 metres high. Young stems are soft and establish roots where they touch the ground. The leaves are bright green, trowel-shaped, 50–75 mm long, 25–50 mm broad with the edges toothed. Flowers are white, in small, dense heads at the ends of the branches. Seeds are slender, angular, 2 mm long, almost black, with fine white hairs at the tip.
