Talinum paniculatum, sometimes known as Jewels-of-Opar or Flameflower, is a succulent subshrub native to North America and Central America. It bears tuberous roots and panicles of flowers 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.
