After flowering an ellipsoid to obovoid shaped pale red-brown to bright orange coloured nut.

[6] It found in swamps and on the margins of lakes and streams along coastal areas in the Mid West, Wheatbelt, Peel, South West, Great Southern and Goldfields-Esperance regions where it grows in damp silty-sandy soils.

[6] The upright foliage and spreading rhizomatous habit allow the plant to form large dense swards in wet areas.

It can grow in nutrient poor soils in water up to a depth of around 50 centimetres (1.6 ft).

The plant tends to grow taller in permanently damp areas and shorter in ephemeral environments.
