Brown Waterleaf

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 79 years. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has dozens of wide, straight stems covered in hard, silky, brown bark, and the wood inside is brown.

The branches trail down towards the ground with hundreds of twigs that and are covered with large amounts of giant, heart-shaped, leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are orange on the edges and olive at the center, flimsy and waxy.

In late spring it produces a thick sheet of medium-sized, vivid red flowers with perforated petals. They are very delicate and have a fairly strong scent that smells like leather.
