The plant grows erect, reaching a height of 30 to 100 cm (12 to 39 in ). It bears small, pink flowers and broad, fleshy leaves .
As a leaf vegetable , T. fruticosum is rich in vitamins , including vitamins A and C minerals such as iron and calcium [citation needed . Because it is high in oxalic acid , consumption should be avoided or limited by those suffering from kidney disorders, gout , and rheumatoid arthritis [citation needed . It is cultivated in West Africa , South Asia , Southeast Asia , and the warmer parts of North and South America . Along with Celosia T. fruticosum is one of the most important leaf vegetables of Nigeria . In Brazil it is grown along the banks of the Amazon River , and is consumed mainly in the states of Pará and Amazonas .
In Nigeria, waterleaf is used to make soup, the Ibibio and Efik people of South-Southern region of the country use it to make afang soup, they combine afang leaves (wild spinach) with waterleaf to produce a savory soup.
