Root fibrous. Stem long, slender, trailing, scattered over with leaves 

 which now and then put out roots from their axis, terminating in a 

 dense tuft of crowded leaves, from amidst which arises the scape, and 

 mostly several lateral branches, long or short, which spread around, 

 ieaws of a bright green, somewhat fleshy, and more or less scattered 

 over or fringed on the margins, with soft pale jointed spreading hairs, 

 the lower leaves on flat channeled footstalks, mostly dilated at the 

 base, and cut into three or five more or less linear lobes, but always
