Jatropha curcas

This succulent sometimes can turn out to be a real bush, which reaches even 6 meters in height in nature. It has green stems, that tend to lignify at the base of the plant, from which quite large, light green leaves come out, characterized by three or five lobes and wavy margins. It has female flowers, all surrounded by small and yellowish male flowers, which bloom in different periods. Usually this plant blooms throughout the year, if the climatic conditions allow it. From its abundant seeds oil is extracted, which has multiple functions, for example, used for the production of lubricants, bath oils, detergents, for lighting and also as a cooking fuel.
