Desert trumpet displays a distinctive, swollen stem that appears inflated, from which it derives its notable appearance. The green to yellowish-green discoloration of the inflated stem segments is characteristic. Typically, this plant grows upright, reaching heights of 10 inches to 3 feet (25 cm to 90 cm) in sparse clusters. This species favors a branching structure; the branches often bare, smooth, and reddish-brown. Each branch terminates in an umbel-like cluster of tiny, pale yellow flowers, which add a subtle, delicate contrast to its robust stem structure.
