Botanical name: Acalypha chamaedrifolia Family: Euphorbiaceae (castor family)
Synonyms: Acalypha reptans, Acalypha hispaniolae, Croton chamaedrifolius
This species is a small version of the common Cat's Tail.
It looks like a miniature trailing version of
Cat's Tail.
Probably from Australia or Malaysia, Red cat's tail is very attractive with
its bright green leaves toothed on the margin and long, hairy tail like
crimson drooping red flower clusters. It looks nice in a hanging basket.
| Photographed in Manipur. |
