Flowers: calyx lobes triangular-ovate, with small apical appendages, 3.5 mm; stamens 5; filaments 1 mm; pistil 2-carpellate; ovary 2-loculed; styles 2. Capsules ovoid-ellipsoid, 4.5 mm. Seeds 10, brown, 1.5 mm, rugose with granular ridges.

Apparently Sesuvium trianthemoides is known only from the type locality. Additional investigation may reveal this entity should be included in S. maritimum.
