This makes a nice clump of green in a shady location. In the sun it looks very ratty. Very tough. Has curious, tiny blooms that appear in the center of the 'leaves'. The leaves are flattened branches. Mine does not set fruit.

I found, many years ago, at the site of an old house that was being buldozed to make way for a tract.
