Brazilian peppertree is a sprawling shrub or small tree, with a shallow root system, reaching a height of 7β10 m. The branches can be upright, reclining, or nearly vine-like, all on the same plant. Its plastic morphology allows it to thrive in all kinds of ecosystems: from dunes to swamps, where it grows as a semi-aquatic plant. The leaves are alternate, 10β22 cm long, pinnately compound with (3β) 5β15 leaflets; the leaflets are roughly oval (lanceolate to elliptical), 3β6 cm long and 2β3.5 cm broad, and have finely toothed margins, an acute to rounded apex and yellowish veins. The leaf rachis between the leaflets is usually (but not invariably) slightly winged. The plant is dioecious, with small white flowers borne profusely in axillary clusters. The fruit is a drupe 4β5 mm diameter, carried in dense clusters of hundreds.
