    Talinum fruticosum commonly known as Waterleaf is an herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the Portulacaceae (Purslane family). The plant is native to Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America and much of South America. It is cultivated in West Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the warmer parts of North and South America. In Bolivia it is known from Beni, Chuquisaca, Cochabamba, La Paz, Santa Cruz and Tarija. Popular common names include Ceylon spinach, waterleaf, cariru, Gbure, Surinam purslane, Philippine spinach, Florida spinach, potherb fame flower, Lagos bologi, Fame flower, Surinam spinach and sweetheart. Although the common name, Ceylon Spinach is actually native to the American continents, it is widely naturalized in India. It is extensively grown in tropical regions as a leaf vegetable.

    The genus name, Talinum, has an unclear origin. In taxonomic literature, there is an assumption that it originally derives from the Greek Θάλεια (thaleia) which comes from Θαλλω (thallos) and means something like to sprout abundantly or to flourish. Its specific epithet, fruticosum is derived from the Latin fruticōsus, which means with many sprouts. Leaves are a source of fiber and minerals and they contribute to collect the micronutrients for daily nutritional requirements. These plants supply the essential nutrients to the human organism.  The plant is often harvested from the wild for local use as a food. It is also cultivated in various parts of the tropics for its edible leaves, being grown on a particularly large scale in Africa. It is occasionally planted as an ornamental pot plant or as an edging plant in gardens.
