It is a dense scrambling bushy perennial succulent 100-400 mm tall; the slender branching stems are slightly woody, densely covered by small, scale-like, neatly overlapping, leaves arranged in 4 rows. In spring, produces tiny, 5-petalled, greenish-yellow flowers. C. lycopodioides is probably the commonest species of all, and comes in various leaf sizes and colours; slenderness and robustness is equally extremely variable.
Stems: Suffruticose, 10-60 cm long spreading or suberect, or decumbent, flexuous, irregularly branched, woody-based, hidden by dead and living leaves, not more than 5 mm across.
Leaves: 2-8 mm long, 1-4 mm broad, conspicuously 4-ranked, usually with minute axillary leaftufts in the axils, scaly, ovate to triangular, flat, pointed or blunt, hairless, very fleshy to leathery, green tinged yellow, grey or brown, densely crowded or loosely overlapping, often giving the stem a 'pipe-cleaner' appearance; leaf sheath 1.5 cm.
Flowers: Minute, solitary or densely clustered on sessile 2-8-flowered dichasia, in the axils of the leaves, malodorous. 5-merous , corolla cup-shaped, pale yellow-green to brown. Sepals c. 1 mm long, triangular or shortly lanceolate, acute. Petals c. 2 mm long, connate, erect, oblong or triangular, acute, concave, keeled, yellow-green to brown. Stamens 0.5-1 mm long. Anthers yellow. Ovaries tapered, style shortly subulate less than half ovary length.
Blooming season: Summer.
