Acalypha hispida
''Acalypha hispida'', the Chenille plant, is a flowering shrub which belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae, the subfamily Acalyphinae, and the genus ''Acalypha''. ''Acalypha'' is the fourth largest genus of the Euphorbiaceae family, and contains many plants native to Hawaii and Oceania.〔 This plant is also known as the Philippines Medusa, red hot cat's tail and fox tail in English, ''pokok ekor kucing'' in Malay, ''Rabo de Gato'' in Portuguese, ''Tai tượng đuôi chồn'' in Vietnamese and ''shibjhul'' in Bengali. ''Acalypha hispida'' is cultivated as a house plant because of its attractiveness and brilliantly colored, furry flowers.
== Origins ==
The plant originated in Oceania,〔 but has become naturalized to multiple countries in North America, including the United States, Mexico, and Belize. It can grow to be five〔 to twelve feet (1.8-3.7 meters) tall, and have a spread of three to six feet (0.9-1.8 meters), with potted plants being the smallest in growth. The plant has become somewhat domesticated, due to the nature and color of its flowers. It can be grown from seeds as well as from cuttings. It can be kept either as an outdoor plant or as a houseplant. However, care should be taken in growing it, as all parts of the plant are poisonous if ingested by animals.
