Botanic information
Leaf: The leaves are obovate to broad spathulate with a short petiole and an obtuse apex. The texture is thick and fleshy and the colour is grey green, tinged in purple.

Flower: The stellate flowers are arranged in a terminal panicle-like cyme that is held above the foliage during early autumn. The tiny flowers have 5-sepals and petals with small spreading stamens and are pink, when young maturing to carmine.

Fruit: The small star-shaped follicle produces numerous seeds that are viable but the plant is commonly reproduced vegetatively.
