Chinese Croton

Excoecaria cochinchinensis

Description:

Top or dorsal surface is green, ventral or undersurface is bright red.

Habitat:

Growing wild by the side of a waste water channel that I pass twice a day. Stopped right alongside this plant because of a traffic signal and photographed it through the window glass.

Notes:

I am quite surprised that what appears to be a garden plant is growing wild, without any one caring for it by the side of a waste water channel.
