It is native to the Indian Subcontinent, southern China, and Southeast Asia.[1] It is a perennial herb that grows up to 0.6–1.5 m (24–59 in) tall.[2] It grows in montane grasslands.[2] It was introduced (originally as a green manure) to most of the world's tropics and subtropics and is now a serious agricultural pest species.[3] It is toxic to livestock, causing liver damage.[4]
