The leaves are shiny, fleshy, glabrous and are widest at the middle point.
The small, white flowers are inconspicuous.
In Florida, it is found in St. Lucie, Martin, Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, Monroe and Collier counties. It is a good, highly salt-tolerant groundcover for coastal and seaside locations. |
