The flowers are purplish, held above the foliage.This plant is the preferred structure for the nesting of some species of paper wasps, such as "Ropalidia fasciata".

Uses
"M. sinensis" is a candidate for bioenergy production due to its high yield, even in high stress environments, easy propagation, effective nutrient cycling, and high genetic variation.References:
