Pedilanthus Tithymaloides ‘Nana’

Scientific name: Pedilanthus Tithymaloides 'Nana'
Common name: Devil's backbone
Location: Faculty of Design and Architecture, UPM, Malaysia

This plant has many medicinal uses. Some of my friends told me, their mother kept this plant at home, as a cure for centipede bites.

*the genus Pedilanthus has been submerged into the genus Euphorbia, and is more correctly known by its new name (Euphorbia tithymaloides).
