Simple, alternate, fleshy leaves on herbs of wet, marshy, or flooded ground with hollow, spongy stems; small flowers pack densely along a narrow, cone-like spike, ripening into a tiny capsule.
The hollow, spongy stem tissue lets air travel down to submerged roots, an adaptation shared with many other flood-tolerant wetland herbs.
