Silverpuff
Chaptalia nutans
Silverpuff (Chaptalia nutans) is a perennial herb native to Brazil and the Asteraceae family. It is stemless (acaulescent) with leaves arranged in a basal rosette; these leaves are entire or slightly toothed, dark green on top, and whitish and velvety underneath due to a dense layer of hairs. Its flower stalks emerge from the center of the rosette, supporting flower heads of pale pink, nodding flowers (a characteristic that gave rise to the scientific name "nutans," meaning "drooping"). It is very common in pastures, lawns, and vacant lots in tropical and subtropical climates, blooming mainly between October and January in Brazil, and is traditionally used as a medicinal plant in backyards and herbal gardens.
Greater celandine
Chelidonium majus
Greater celandine (Chelidonium majus) is a perennial herb in the poppy family (Papaveraceae), native to Europe and western Asia, and now widespread in North America where it is considered invasive. It grows to a height of approximately 30–120 cm, featuring grayish-green pinnately divided leaves and small four-petaled yellow flowers that bloom from May to September. When injured, every part of the plant exudes a characteristic orange-yellow toxic sap containing isoquinoline alkaloids (such as chelidonine, sanguinarine, berberine, and coptisine). It grows on waste ground, near fences, in forest undergrowth, and in shady areas near human settlements. Both the Latin and common names refer to swallows (Greek: chelidón) – according to tradition, the plant blooms from their arrival until their departure.
Goosefoot
Chenopodium
Chenopodium is a large genus of annual herbaceous plants in the family Amaranthaceae, found across temperate and tropical regions worldwide. It includes well-known species such as quinoa (C. quinoa), lambsquarters (C. album), and epazote (C. ambrosioides), valued for their culinary and medicinal properties.
Lamb's Quarters
Chenopodium album
Lamb's quarters (Chenopodium album) is a fast-growing annual herb found across the world in disturbed soils, garden beds, and agricultural fields. Often considered an invasive weed, it is also a highly nutritious edible and medicinal plant used for thousands of years across cultures.
Fig-leaved Goosefoot
Chenopodium ficifolium
Chenopodium ficifolium, commonly known as fig-leaved goosefoot, is an annual herbaceous plant in the family Amaranthaceae, native to Asia (from the Irano-Turanian region to Korea and northern Indo-China) and naturalized as a weed across Europe and North America. It grows in nitrogen-rich, disturbed soils such as riverbanks and agricultural fields, reaching up to 80 cm tall with erect, branched stems. Its leaves resemble those of a fig tree, giving the plant its common name.
Green Elfcup
Chlorociboria aeruginascens
Chlorociboria aeruginascens, known as the Green Elfcup, is a saprobic fungus famous for its ability to stain the wood it decomposes a deep, blue-green shade. The fruiting bodies are small, often only 2-5 mm wide, and have a characteristic cup or funnel shape. They typically grow on moist, barkless hardwood, especially oak and beech. The green color in the wood is caused by the pigment xylindein, and this stained wood has been sought after for centuries for use in decorative woodwork such as marquetry.
Brazilian Rain Tree
Chloroleucon tortum
Chloroleucon tortum, popularly known as the Brazilian Rain Tree or Tataré, is a deciduous tree native to the Atlantic Forest and the coastal restingas of Rio de Janeiro, currently considered endangered in its original habitat. 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.
False Parasol
Chlorophyllum molybdites
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.
Spider Plant (genus)
Chlorophytum
Chlorophytum is a genus of perennial herbaceous plants in the family Asparagaceae, widely grown as houseplants for their easy care and air-purifying properties.
Cape Spider Plant
Chlorophytum capense
Chlorophytum capense is an evergreen perennial native to the Eastern Cape region of South Africa, where it grows in dry, shaded riverbank vegetation. It forms a dense, arching rosette of narrow, grass-like leaves and is often confused with the more common spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum), but unlike its cousin, C. capense rarely produces the aerial runners and plantlets that give the spider plant its name -- instead it spreads slowly by underground rhizomes, forming tidy clumps. In summer it sends up tall flower spikes bearing small white star-shaped blooms.
Spider Plant
Chlorophytum comosum
The Spider Plant is one of the most popular and easiest houseplants to grow. Native to South Africa, it features long, arching leaves with green and white stripes. Known for producing "spiderettes" (baby plants) on long stems, it is excellent for hanging baskets and is a proven air purifier according to NASA studies.
Variegated Spider Plant
Chlorophytum comosum 'Variegatum'
A cultivar of Chlorophytum comosum prized for its arching, ribbon-like leaves with a green center and creamy-white margins — the reverse pattern of the similar 'Vittatum' cultivar, which has a white central stripe. One of the most popular and forgiving houseplants, it sends out long stolons bearing small white flowers followed by baby plantlets ('spiderettes') that dangle and can be easily propagated.
Spider Plant
Chlorophytum comosum 'Vittatum'
The 'Vittatum' spider plant is one of the most popular and forgiving houseplants, prized for its long, arching leaves marked with a creamy-white central stripe. Native to South Africa, it sends up sprays of small white flowers followed by baby plantlets that dangle from the stems, making it exceptionally easy to propagate and share.
Zebra Grass Spider Plant
Chlorophytum laxum
Chlorophytum laxum is a herbaceous perennial in the Asparagaceae family, closely related to the well-known spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum). Its most popular cultivar, 'Zebra' (also sold as 'Bichetii'), is prized for its narrow, ribbon-like leaves marked with a creamy white central or marginal band, forming compact, gracefully arching clumps. Native to tropical Northeast Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and South Asia, it naturally grows in the shaded understory of humid forests. It is a fast-growing, remarkably tough plant that tolerates neglect well, making it a popular choice both as an indoor houseplant and as a groundcover in frost-free tropical gardens.
Mandarin Plant
Chlorophytum orchidastrum
The Mandarin Plant (Chlorophytum orchidastrum) is a tropical species native to tropical Africa, celebrated for its striking orange petioles and midribs that create a vivid contrast against its dark green leaves. It is a resilient and easy-care houseplant, perfect for beginners seeking a bold tropical accent.
Mexican Orange Blossom (genus)
Choisya
Choisya is a genus of aromatic evergreen shrubs in the family Rutaceae, native to Mexico and the southern United States. Prized for their fragrant white star-shaped flowers and glossy foliage, they are tough, low-maintenance plants well suited to temperate gardens.
Rush skeletonweed
Chondrilla juncea
Chondrilla juncea (rush skeletonweed) is a perennial herbaceous plant in the Asteraceae family, native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. It is easily recognizable by its characteristic thin, wiry stems and small, yellow dandelion-like flowers. Its flowering stems, which emerge from basal leaves, can grow up to 100 cm tall. It thrives in dry, sandy soils, along roadsides, in fields, and on pastures. It spreads rapidly through both seeds and root suckers.
