Breynia cernua
Species of flowering plant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Breynia cernua is a species of flowering plant that grows naturally in Australia and Malesia as a shrub up to 2 m (7 ft) in height.[1] It is presumably dependent on leafflower moths (Epicephala spp.) for its pollination, like other species of tree in the genus Breynia.[2][3] The species is known by the rather unfortunate name of fart bush.[4]
