Annual, robust herbaceous plant which can reach up to 1.5 m in height; lives in Bolivia, Paraguay and Argentina, with the Gran Chaco and its adjoining areas being places where its presence has been well documented (TOLEDO & BARBOSA, 2005: 73-76). It lives in clearings and the edges of forests, invading crops, roadsides and disturbed terrain. The Pilagá report that the ripe fruit is a source of food.
