The gupongrass split from its ancestor and grown larger leaves. Starch buds protrude from the base, which also stores it in large amount inside, giving it a soft structure. The bush base is quite small, growing no more than 10 cm long. It will bend according to the water flow direction, eventually being broken or uprooted and fixed in another place. It lost the ability to grow runners, but still can form huge fields due to the large amount of leaves that keep growing and detaching from the base, regenerating new bushes when resting on the ground.
