It reproduces by seeds and also by the very well developed underground roots. It usually has a height of 10-80 cm. It can be easily identified by its leaves, which are small and linear (they have a length of 2-4 cm and a width of 1-2 mm) and emit a milky sap when broken. Its petal-like bracts are usually green-yellow. The milky juice of the plant is toxic and it develops irritations on contact with the skin. This plant is considered a noxious weed in many places, including the state of Colorado.
