Jatropha Integerrima

What is the plant

Jatropha integerrima is an evergreen, broadleaf ornamental that is native to the Caribbean islands and grows well in warmer parts of Florida. It is related to jatropha curcas that is grown commercially to produce oil used in biodiesel fuel. Jatropha requires so little care and maintenance that is sometimes planted in highway mediums; in the West Indies it grows in wasteland.
