It has very thin, hairy stems, and its tiny leaves are either lobed or heart-shaped, and may be green or pink in color. The plant can sprawl across the ground as a thin layer, or form scattered small patches. It produces tiny bright pink flowers. This species is native to the western United States, California, Baja California, and northwestern Mexico.
