\nThis species is native to tropical America, but commonly naturalized in many tropical areas. It is also a common plant in Hawaiian Islands, Queensland, Florida and the warmer parts of Asia.<\/p>\n
\nIt is small tree or shrub, as it is often seen., with thick soft branches. The leaves are deeply divided in lobes,the lobes often again lobed. An interesting fact about this shrub is the striking and eye catching orange red pincushion like flowers. The flowers with a small scarlett centre and few petals resembles a piece of coral. Henceforth, the name coral plant.
\nThe male and female flowers are separate.<\/p>\n
\nThe plant sap is used to treat wounds and skin ulcers.The leaves are cooked as vegetable.
\nThe roasted seeds used to cure fevers and venereal diseases. The dried roots cure indigestion. Well,you might be actually forgiven for thinking it to be a medicinal plant.
\nIt also makes for a handsome garden plant with rather pretty foliage and coral-red flowes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
