'''''Talinum''''' is a genus of [[herbaceous]] [[succulent plant]]s in the family [[Portulacaceae]] whose common names include '''fameflower''' and '''flameflower'''. Several species bear [[edible leaves]], and ''[[Talinum fruticosum]]'' is widely grown in tropical regions as a [[leaf vegetable]]. ''[[Talinum paniculatum]]'' is grown as an [[ornamental plant]]. Talinum species triangulare possess unique nutritive potential. {{Inc| Talinum (possibly a native name in Senegal). Portulacaceae. Fleshy herbs, sometimes becoming woody at the base with age, occasionally cult. in the warmhouse. Lvs. alternate or rather opposite, flat: fls. small, in terminal cymes, racemes, or panicles, rarely solitary, axillary, or lateral; sepals 2; petals 5, hypogynous, ephemeral; stamens 5 to many; ovary rnany-ovuled: caps. globose or ovoid, chartaceous, 3-valved.— About 15 species, widely scattered in the warmer regions. The variety of T. patens is a handsome greenhouse shrub, with foliage marked white and sometimes also pink. The young stems are pink and succulent, but they become woody with age. The plant is allied to portulaca and will endure much heat and drought, but is very impatient of overwatering and lack of drainage. The plants bloom freely, the flowers being small, light pink, and followed by small yellow capsules filled with an indefinite number of little brown seeds. Some prefer to retain the sprays of blossom, but to make the best show of foliage the flower-shoots should be cut off as soon as they appear. Talinum is a satisfactory house-plant. It should be placed in a window with a northern exposure or in some other shady position. Talinum may also be planted out during the summer. {{SCH}} }} ==Cultivation== {{edit-cult}} ===Propagation=== {{edit-prop}} ===Pests and diseases=== {{edit-pests}} ==Species== *''[[Talinum crassifolium]]'' *''[[Talinum fruticosum]]'' *''[[Talinum paniculatum]]'' ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}} <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
