This member of the Verbenaceae
family
was given this name by Joseph Gaertner in 1788. It is found in Coastal India and
Sri Lanka (and a better part of coastal Asia), growing in a well drained
but rich soil with lots of water and some to lots of sun. The stem can grow to
nine centimetres in diameter, the entire plant
to three or even thirteen centimetres in height. The flowers are white.
The genera name is
derived from two Greek words, kleros, meaning 'chance',
'fate' or "clergy", and dendron, 'a tree'.
The species name meaning 'unarmed' as it have no spines. |
