Description

Flowers
This plant has numerous white[5] to creamy-yellow[6] flowers, and the flower stalks can be 30 centimetres (12 in) in height.[5]
Fruits and reproduction
The stems creep and root at the nodes; the plant spreads by rhizomes. Dollar Weed produces a dry dehiscent fruit that, at maturity, splits into two or more parts each with a single seed.[6]
Habitat
This plant lives in sandy areas of somewhat extreme conditions: very dry lands that are flooded sometimes.
Community species
Co-dominate species

Distribution

This species colonizes sandy ground[5] and disturbed foreshore sites, estuaries, coastline, sand dunes and ponds.[6] H. bonariensis has also displayed a tendency to prefer, and be stronger at, higher elevations.[9]
