widely cultivated houseplant, but until recently, was unknown to the
botanists. The plant has brown, cylindrical, rough, brittle, woody
stems up to 30 cm long. Leaves are leathery, green, disk-shaped. Young
leaves are glossy, dulling with age. Leaf-stalk is attached to the
centre of leaf disk. The plant has tiny white inflorescences, on
pinkish stems, born in spring. Male and female flowers reside on the
same plant. Chinese Money Plant is native to China, cultivated widely.
