Acmella oleracea is a tender evergreen perennial typically cultivated as an annual. It serves both culinary and medicinal purposes. The foliage is a deep, bronzy green, while the flowers, which appear from mid-summer to early autumn, are yellow and lack petals, featuring a red center.

Acmella comprises both annual and perennial herbaceous plants, originating from the Americas. These species can have stems that branch out either horizontally or grow upright. The flowers typically appear solitary and are primarily yellow or orange, though they can also be found in white or purple varieties.
