This unusual South American plant causes numbing of the tongue when chewed. It is reputed to have antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antifungal qualities. Multitudes of red and yellow button flowers. Often sold as a salad plant, although this seems more like a practical joke on your dinner guests. The numbing aspect is lost when the leaves are cooked - they are a popular leafy green in Brazil.
