| Description |
Common name: Australian bottle plant, Physic nut, Buddha belly plant Botanical name: Jatropha podagrica - [ (JAT-roh-fuh) or (jat-ROH-fuh) the Greek iatrós (doctor) and trophé (food), referring to its nutritious qualities (when consumed in small amounts); (pod-AG-ree-kuh) meaning foot swollen ] Family: Euphorbiaceae (castor, euphorbia, or spurge family) - [ (yoo-for-bee-AY-see-ay) the Euphorbia family, named for Euphorbus, Greek physician to Juba II, King of Mauretania ] Origin: Tropical America As its various common names suggest, Australian bottle plant has a bottle or belly shaped trunk with clusters of tiny, coral-like flowers on long stems and large, lobed leaves, all of which makes for a rare and unusual looking plant. It flowers throughout most of the year and is sun and drought tolerant. A native of tropical America, it is a very attractive plant. The leaves are large, lobed, peltate and somewhat succulent. The flowers grow on long stems and are a brilliant red color, and stand out from the foliage, despite being relatively small. The trunk forms a nice ball shaped caudex, and has strange thorny looking knobs. It is called 'Buddha Belly Plant' because keeping the foilage pruned enlarges the trunk.
