Jatropha variifolia

It is a small-sized succulent bush, that almost never exceeds one meter in height, formed by a barky brown caudex of a non-symmetrical ovoid shape, sometimes branched and tangled - this  characteristic makes each specimen unique and highly sought after by green collectors. At the apex of the caudex, a thin woody, weakly branched stem sprout, which then becomes green and flexible, where dark green lanceolate leaves with clearly visible light veins are born. It has female flowers, all surrounded by small male flowers of the most varied colors; this plant usually blooms throughout the year, if the climatic conditions allow it.
