It’s native range includes both Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Florida. Identical in taste, flavor and unpleasant smell but praised for its healing properties in traditional medicine. The plant has shiny dark green leaves and is attractive as an ornamental with bright yellow fruits. Easy to grow from seeds and makes an excellent container plant that is easily cared for.
