It is an aboveground perennial and a herbaceous, stolon-former plant that reaches heights of 10 to 20 cm. The stem is creeping to ascending and forms knots at the roots.
The leaves are opposite. There are two pairs of leaves just below the inflorescence.

It occurs in China, Bhutan, northeast India, Nepal, Sikkim, Myanmar and Thailand in moist forest edges, bushes and the edges of rice fields at altitudes of 200 to 2100 meters.
It is grown as an ornamental plant for its bright yellow flowers and easy maintenance, in moist well-drained soils, thriving in full sun to partial shade. It can be grown from stem cuttings. Cultivars include: [2]
Lysimachia congestiflora yields the O-methylated flavonol syringetin. [3]
