Summary

Alternanthera brasiliana var. villosa, known as little ruby and ruby leaf alternanthera, is a fast-growing ornamental groundcover plant in the amaranth family. It ranges from southeastern Mexico to Guatemala, Nicaragua, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, and northeastern Argentina. It was first described as Telanthera brasiliana var. villosa in 1849 by Alfred Moquin-Tandon. It is known by many synonyms, including Alternanthera dentata, described by Stuchlík and Robert Elias Fries in 1913. The plant is chiefly grown for its coloured foliage. It is similar in appearance to Alternanthera bettzickiana, and both have some strikingly similar looking cultivars....read more on Wikipedia.
