'''''Talinum paniculatum''''', sometimes known as '''Jewels-of-Opar''' or '''Flameflower''', is a [[succulent plant|succulent]] [[subshrub]] native to [[North America]] and [[Central America]]. It bears [[tuberous root]]s and [[panicle]]s of [[flower]]s and produces tiny, jewel-like fruits.
The common name name is apparently taken from the title of a novel by American writer [[Edgar Rice Burroughs]], ''[[Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar]]''.
