Plants from the genus natively occur in Africa, North America, and the Caribbean. Originating in the Caribbean, the jatropha was spread as a valuable hedge plant to Africa and Asia by Portuguese traders. Currently the tree is widely used for getting biodiesel in India, and is being promoted as a very easy to grow biofuel crop in hundreds of projects throughout India and the third world. The rail line between Mumbai and Delhi is planted with Jatropha and the train itself runs on 15-20% biodiesel. The mature small trees bear male and female inflorescence, and do not grow very tall. Jatropha podagrica, was used to tan leather and produce a red dye in Mexico and the Southwestern United States. May also be used as a house plant. This genus is also known as: Adenorhopium Rchb. ::: Adenoropium Pohl ::: Castiglionia Ruiz & Pav. ::: Collenucia Chiov. ::: Curcas Adans. ::: Jatropa Scop., orth. var. ::: Loureira Cav. ::: Mesandrinia Raf. ::: Mesandrinia Ortega ::: Zimapania Engl. & Pax Courtesy: - Flowers of India - Dave's Garden - TopTropicals - EcoPort - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Note: Identification attempted; may not be accurate. |
