It is native to South America,[2] but it is known in widespread parts of Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America as an introduced species.[3]

It grows in wet non-saline and saline soils, such as mudflats, salt marshes, and lake margins.

It is an annual herb growing erect to heights approaching 35 to 45 centimeters, or prostrate in a creeping mat. It is green to magenta in color and non-aromatic. The leaves may be several centimeters long and vary in shape from smooth-edged and oval to triangular and lobed or toothed. The inflorescence is a small, dense cluster of tiny flowers, each flower with its three-lobed calyx enclosing the developing fruit.
