COPPER LEAF (Chrysothemis pulchella)
Morphological character
During spring to summer, the plant blooms with very showy orange-red flowers. The bright yellow corolla; with some red stripes or spots; is about twice the length of the calyx; with a narrow tube and flaring lobes. The corolla is short-lived; lasting only a day or two; but the colored calyx is very long-lasting and decorative. Leaves are large; dark-green with brown touch and very ornamental. The thick and succulent stems are usually grown upright. The flowers are formed densely together as a bunch of foliage.
