This distinctive species has
very long slender branches. The main leaves sprout in clumps from the very end
of the branches, but there are also smaller clumps of leaves just below the
main clumps.

The bright red aggregate fruits
hang down from the main terminal clumps of leaves.

This plant tends to grow
sporadically along freshwater courses in the tropical rainforest of
north-eastern Australia.
