It is famous for its tortuous trunk with bark that peels off in plates to form a highly ornamental marbled texture—making it one of the most sought-after species for bonsai in Brazil. Its bipinnate leaves are delicate and drop during periods of water stress, but the tree resprouts vigorously within a few weeks. It produces fragrant, globose white to cream-colored flowers during the spring and summer.

Chlorophyllum molybdites, commonly known as the false parasol or the green-spored lepiota, is a highly toxic basidiomycete fungus. It is characterized by its large white cap with brown scales and, most distinctively, its gills that turn grayish-green at maturity due to its green spores. It is one of the most common causes of mushroom poisoning in North America and tropical regions due to its resemblance to edible species like Macrolepiota procera.

It is known for its velvety copper-toned foliage and its tubular yellow flowers with red stripes or spots, surrounded by a very showy and long-lasting orange-red calyx, although each corolla lasts only a few days. It grows from tubers, so it may lose leaves and stems during cold seasons and sprout again when the heat returns. It reaches about 12-18 inches in height when grown indoors.
Camphor tree
