Copperleaf (Acalypha wilkesiana), covered in hoarfrost in front of an elm tree (Ulmus procera). The tall thin plants on both sides are withered mulleins (Verbascum sp.) full of ripe seed pods.

Excerpt from a variant of a photo-realistic oil painting by the North Korean artist Park Cheol Jin, similar to the one that was exhibited 2017 at the Shanghai Art Fair.

This is the signed and dated original version (unfortunately in a poor resolution), with wild fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) on the left in front of the mulleins and without hoarfrost, as it was exhibited at the Shanghai Art Fair 2017.

Codiaeum variegatum, Euphorbiaceae

Last time I went to visit the Victorian Glasshouse within Queen’s Park here in Glasgow I had a chance to see their garden croton in flower, something I hadn’t seen in person before. This highly variable evergreen species native to insular SE Asia and parts of Oceania generally grows into a compact, medium sized shrub in the understory of open woodland, and often prefers half shade to a position in full sun, but can only be grown under glass or as a houseplant in cool temperate climates and more northerly latitudes. Overwintering it indoors, however, can be a challenge as it requires a high level of humidity, which isn’t easy to provide in the dry heat of your typical living room. Wherever it is positioned, the large, glossy and leathery leaves will provide a main focal point, as little else can present so many highly contrasting colours and patterns at once. The long and narrow inflorescences are somewhat similar tho those of another vividly coloured Euphorbiacea, copperleaf (Acalypha wilkesiana), with numerous small white flowers segregated by gender. In the photos above you can see male flower spikes -notice the tiny anthers- towards the end of their cycle. 

All parts of the plant are dangerously toxic if ingested, which is unsurprising considering the family it belongs to, and the sap it exudes can cause irritation and reactions upon contact, so care should be taken when pruning or propagating it. If it grows too leggy and sparse, it can easily be reduced in size and rejuvenated using air layering or by taking apical cuttings while it is actively growing. Garden croton can be more challenging to raise from its recalcitrant small seeds, but that’s the only way to produce new and more striking combinations of colours and leaf shapes.

Cardiovascular diseases, in particular arterial hypertension, are one of the causes of mortality and morbidity in the world, the impact of the treatment is very important, for this the poor populations have difficulties and turn to traditional therapists for treat these pathologies using plants. Thus, our investigations on the use of plants, in the form of an ethnobotanical survey, were carried out in the town of Oyem with 50 people questioned, composed of men (84%) and women (16%) with an age varying between 43 and 75 years. At the end of this investigation, 10 plants were inventoried but Acalypha wilkesiana which is the main object because of its high frequency of use will be studied in particular. The species A. wilkesiana is used to treat several conditions, particularly hypertension. Regarding the organs, the leaves are the most used parts of the plant (93%). The treatment is administered in the form of a decoction (54%) and maceration (40%). These results constitute a database for carrying out phytochemical and biological tests in the search for new bioactive antihypertensive molecules in plants.
