Jatropha integerrima, commonly known as Peregrina or Spicy Jatropha, is a species of flowering plant in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae, that is native to Cuba and Hispaniola.
Jatropha integerrima, also known as Peregrina or Spicy Jatropha, is an evergreen shrub native to the Caribbean and Central America. In Qatar, it is cultivated as an ornamental plant for its attractive red flowers and compact growth habit. It thrives in the country's warm climate and can be found in landscaped areas, gardens, and parks. Studies in Qatar have shown that Jatropha integerrima can tolerate high temperatures, drought, and saline soils, making it a popular choice for urban landscaping in the region. However, its invasive potential and toxic seeds should be considered when planting and maintaining this species in Qatari gardens.
