Plectranthus (LHér. 1788)

Plants with a creeping habit and fleshy appearance. They have a strong tendency to cover anything they encounter along their way. They prefer partial shade and moderate temperatures. Widely used as ornamental indoor plants. Several of their species are commonly known as "Money Plant" or "Money Flower." Both the plant and its delicate flower are highly attractive.
Etymology: From the Greek "plectron", meaning spur, and "anthos", meaning flower, due to the resemblance of part of its flower to a spur.
Place of Origin: Warm or temperate zones of the Southern Hemisphere such as Australia, Africa, Indonesia, and India.
