  一年生或多年生草本。根圆柱状,长30-50厘米,直径2-7毫米,基部有时木质化。茎直立,上部多分枝,高可达1米,直径3-8毫米,光滑无毛。叶互生,卵形、椭圆形或卵状椭圆形,先端尖或圆,基部渐狭,长3-10厘米,宽1-5厘米,边缘波状分裂或具波状齿或全缘,无毛;叶柄长1一3厘米;总苞叶与茎生叶同形,较小,长2-5厘米,宽1-2厘米,淡红色或仅基部红色。花序单生,数枚聚伞状排列于分枝顶端,总苞钟状,绿色,高5-6毫米,直径3-5毫米,边缘5裂,裂片三角形,常呈齿状分裂;腺体常1枚,偶2枚,扁杯状,近两唇形,黄色。雄花多枚,常伸出总苞之外;雌花1枚,子房柄明显伸出总苞处;子房三棱状球形,光滑无毛;花柱3,分离;柱头2钱裂。蒴果,三棱状球形,长4. 5-5.0毫米,直径3.5-4.0 毫米,无毛;成熟时分裂为3个分果瓣。种子卵状椭圆形,长2.5-3.0毫米,直径2-2.5毫米,褐色至黑色,具不规则的小突起;无种阜。花果期5-11月。
  原产中南美洲,归化于旧大陆;广泛栽培于我国大部分省区市,常见于公园,植物园及温室中,用于观赏。
  据Dressler (1962)考证,种加词cyathophora和heterophylla所代表的类群完全不同:前者总苞叶淡红色或基部红色;腺体压扁,近二唇形;叶两面无毛;果无毛;种子具不明显的疣扶突起;后者总苞叶绿色或基部白色;腺体圆形;叶两面被毛;果被柔毛;种子明显具疣。因此,我国目前文献中所记栽的植物学名应是E. cyathophora。
