Emu berry plants flourish in open woodland and closed tropical woodland areas. The plant, looking like an overgrown weed, can grow to a height of one metre. A multitude of single stems usually sprout from the one location. The leaves, growing alternately on either side of the stem, are darkish dull green, saw-edged and covered with fine hairs. From April to September groups of shiny red/brown berries grow along the stems. Each berry has two, three or even four segments, each segment containing a large white stone.
