From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pouzolzia zeylanica, commonly known as graceful Pouzolz's bush or Ceylon pouzolzia, is a perennial herb native to Tropical and Subtropical Asia and Northern Australia.[2][3] This species, which grows primarily in seasonally dry tropical biomes, reaches a height of 12–40 cm and is characterized by its pale green flowers arranged in loose, hairy clusters in the leaf axils.[4] The plant features lance-shaped to rhomboid-ovate leaves that can be opposite or rarely alternate, and its rootstock is often tuberous.[5][6] The species has also been introduced to other regions, including Florida and El Salvador.[7]
