Native to the Mediterranean region, it is famous for its longevity, capable of living for centuries. Its leaves are small and scale-like, exuding a characteristic resinous aroma when crushed. It is widely used in classical landscaping to create vertical lines and formal hedges.
Pumpkin
Curburbita pepo
Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo) is an annual vine from the Cucurbitaceae family, native to North and Central America. It produces creeping or climbing stems, large, rough leaves, and showy yellow-orange flowers. Its fruits vary enormously in shape, size, and color, including zucchini, ornamental gourds, and winter squash. It has been cultivated for millennia by indigenous American peoples and is now one of the most popular vegetables in the world.
Palm Grass
Curculigo capitulata
Curculigo capitulata, commonly known as Palm Grass, is a lush evergreen perennial native to Southeast Asia. It produces bold, palm-like strap leaves up to 90 cm long that form dense, tropical clumps. Small yellow flowers emerge from the leaf bases and are sweetly scented. A remarkably adaptable plant suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation.
Turmeric
Curcuma
Turmeric is a genus of over one hundred species of rhizomatous herbs in the Zingiberaceae family (the same as ginger), native to South and Southeast Asia. Some species, such as Curcuma longa (the turmeric used in cooking and traditional medicine), are cultivated for their rhizomes; others, such as Curcuma alismatifolia (Siam tulip), are prized for their colorful, cone-shaped inflorescences. All share large, lanceolate foliage and a seasonal growth habit marked by a period of dormancy.
Siam Tulip
Curcuma alismatifolia
The Siam tulip (Curcuma alismatifolia) is a rhizomatous perennial in the ginger family (Zingiberaceae), native to Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. Despite its common name, it is unrelated to true tulips (Tulipa spp.) — its showy pink, white, or purple "flowers" are actually colorful bracts surrounding small, inconspicuous true flowers. The plant grows from underground rhizomes, producing clumps of large, lance-shaped leaves resembling miniature banana foliage. It blooms from late spring through summer and then goes fully dormant in autumn and winter, dying back to the rhizome until the following growing season. Siam tulip is widely grown as a container and garden ornamental in warm climates, and also valued as a long-lasting cut flower.
Turmeric
Curcuma longa
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a herbaceous perennial in the ginger family (Zingiberaceae), native to India and Southeast Asia. It grows from fleshy, bright orange rhizomes and produces large, lance-shaped leaves resembling those of a banana plant. It is cultivated both as an ornamental and for its rhizome, which has been used as a spice, dye, and medicine for thousands of years.
Hidden Ginger
Curcuma petiolata
Curcuma petiolata is a clumping tropical ginger grown for its lush, broad, paddle-shaped leaves and cone-like summer blooms whose showy pink-and-white bracts hide the true flowers tucked inside. Growing from a rhizome, it goes dormant in winter and returns each spring, making a bold accent in shade borders and large containers.
Zedoary
Curcuma zedoaria
Curcuma zedoaria, commonly known as Zedoary or White Turmeric, is a tropical rhizomatous perennial herb from Southeast Asia. A member of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae), it produces elegant pale yellow to white flowers with purple bracts in spring and summer. Its aromatic rhizomes have been used for millennia in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine, as well as in cooking. It goes dormant in winter, dying back to its underground rhizomes, and re-emerges vigorously each spring.
Curio (genus) — formerly Senecio succulents
Curio
Curio is a genus of succulent plants in the family Asteraceae, split from Senecio in 2012. It encompasses popular trailing and groundcover succulents such as String of Pearls (C. rowleyanus), String of Bananas (C. radicans), and Candle Plant (C. articulatus).

Curio repens, still widely sold under its older name Senecio serpens (and formerly Kleinia repens), is a low-growing succulent groundcover native to the rocky sandstone slopes of South Africa's Western Cape. Its cylindrical, powder-blue leaves cluster densely along sprawling stems, forming a striking blue-gray mat that spreads readily in containers, rock gardens, and water-wise landscapes.
String of Pearls
Curio rowleyanus
String of Pearls (Curio rowleyanus) is a trailing succulent native to South Africa, prized for its distinctive spherical, bead-like leaves that cascade elegantly from hanging baskets. WARNING: Toxic to cats, dogs, and humans due to pyrrolizidine alkaloids.
Blue Chalksticks
Curio talinoides
Curio talinoides, commonly known as Blue Chalksticks, is a striking succulent native to South Africa. It forms dense, low-growing mats of pencil-like, glaucous blue-grey leaves with a distinctive waxy coating that gives the plant its signature silvery-blue appearance. A member of the Asteraceae family, it produces small white daisy-like flowers in summer. Highly valued in xeriscape and Mediterranean gardens for its dramatic color contrast and minimal water requirements.
Assegai tree
Curtisia dentata
Curtisia dentata, commonly known as the Assegai tree, is a majestic evergreen tree native to Southern Africa. It features leathery, glossy dark green leaves with very characteristic serrated edges. Its bark is dark gray and becomes fissured with age. Historically, its extremely dense and durable wood was used by indigenous peoples to manufacture spear shafts (assegais). It produces small white fruits that attract various bird species.
Field dodder
Cuscuta campestris
Field dodder (Cuscuta campestris) is a harmful weed belonging to the morning glory family (Convolvulaceae), originating from North America and now widespread globally. It is a total parasite (holoparasite): it lacks true roots, leaves, and chlorophyll. Its yellow or orange, thread-like stem attaches to the host plant via sucking roots (haustoria) that penetrate the host's tissues to extract water and nutrients. Known in Hungary since 1873, it has since become one of the most common parasitic weeds in roadsides and fallow lands, capable of attacking approximately 225 host species, including alfalfa, clover, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, onions, and sugar beets. Although it rarely kills its host plant directly, it significantly stunts its growth, flowering, and fruit production; therefore, it is classified as a quarantine (mandatory control) weed in Hungary.
Cabbage Tree
Cussonia spicata
Cussonia spicata, known as the cabbage tree, is a fast-growing evergreen tree native to the wetter regions of Southern and Eastern Africa, where it occurs from dry forests to savannas at altitudes of 200 to 2,550 m. It is characterized by a thick, succulent trunk and large palmate leaves arranged in dense spherical clusters at the ends of the branches. At maturity, it grows up to 15 m tall and produces striking spike-like inflorescences of yellow-green color in summer, from which it received its specific name. Unlike many houseplants, it is not considered toxic to humans or pets.
Pussy Ears
Cyanotis somaliensis
Cyanotis somaliensis, known as Pussy Ears or Kitten Ears, is a creeping perennial succulent in the Commelinaceae family, native to northern Somalia in East Africa. Its small, fleshy, lance-shaped leaves (about 4 cm) are covered in a dense, soft white fuzz that gives it a unique velvety texture, resembling a kitten's ears. It is a slow-growing and compact plant, reaching about 12 cm in height, with trailing stems that can extend up to 60 cm, making it ideal for hanging baskets. In summer, it produces small three-petaled purple or blue flowers with showy yellow stamens that create a charming contrast. The species has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
Little Ironweed
Cyanthillium cinereum
Cyanthillium cinereum (synonym: Vernonia cinerea), commonly known as little ironweed, is an annual or short-lived perennial herb in the Asteraceae family that can grow up to 120 cm tall. Native to tropical Africa and Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Indochina, Indonesia), it has become a pantropical weed naturalized in Australia, Central and South America, and Florida. Its tiny, flat-topped inflorescences contain pinkish-purple flower heads without ray florets. It frequently appears along roadsides, open spaces, and abandoned fields, while it has played an important role in Ayurvedic and folk medicine for centuries.
Tree Fern
Cyathea delgadii
Cyathea delgadii, popularly known as the tree fern or lacy tree fern, is an arborescent fern native to the tropical and subtropical forests of Central and South America, including Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina). It forms an erect stipe (trunk) up to 4.5 m tall, covered with scars left by fallen old fronds, and supports a crown of arching bipinnate fronds that can reach 1.5 to 3 m in length. It is found in the understory of humid forests at altitudes between 100 and 2,700 m, always in shaded locations with constant high humidity. Like other species in the genus, it produces extraordinary amounts of spores per frond, one of the highest recorded spore production rates among vascular plants.
Fluted bird's nest
Cyathus striatus
Cyathus striatus, commonly known as the fluted bird's nest, is a saprobic fungus characterized by its splash-cup shape. The inner surface of the cup is distinctly fluted or grooved, and it contains small, egg-like structures called peridioles which house the spores. These fungi are typically found growing in clusters on decomposing wood, mulch, or woody debris in shaded, moist environments.
Queen Sago
Cycas circinalis
Cycas circinalis, commonly known as the Queen Sago or Indian Cycad, is one of the oldest living plant genera on Earth, dating back over 280 million years. Native to tropical Asia, this majestic cycad features a stout trunk topped with a crown of long, arching, deep-green feathery fronds. It is a slow-growing, long-lived plant prized for its prehistoric appearance and landscape value in tropical and subtropical gardens.
Sago Palm
Cycas revoluta
Cycas revoluta, commonly known as the Sago Palm, is not actually a palm but one of the oldest living seed plants on Earth — a true living fossil. Native to southern Japan, this slow-growing cycad features a stout trunk crowned with a rosette of stiff, dark green, glossy pinnate leaves. Despite its prehistoric origins, it thrives as a popular ornamental plant both indoors and in warm-climate gardens.
Queen Sago
Cycas rumphii
Cycas rumphii, known as queen sago, is a slow-growing cycad native to the coastal forests of Indonesia, New Guinea and nearby Indian Ocean islands. Despite its palm-like rosette of glossy, arching fronds, it is not a true palm but an ancient gymnosperm related to conifers, predating flowering plants by millions of years. It forms a thick, columnar trunk topped with a crown of pinnate leaves and is prized as a striking, long-lived ornamental for gardens and large containers in tropical and subtropical climates.
Cyclamen
Cyclamen
Cyclamen is a genus of about 20 tuberous perennial species in the family Primulaceae, native to the Mediterranean basin and parts of Europe, North Africa and Iran. The most widely cultivated species as a houseplant is Cyclamen persicum, the florist's cyclamen, prized for its upswept, butterfly-like flowers in white, pink, red and magenta held above heart-shaped, often silver-marbled leaves. Cyclamen grow from a flattened tuber and follow a distinct seasonal cycle: active growth and flowering in cool months (fall through spring), followed by a summer dormancy when the foliage yellows and dies back.
Eastern Cyclamen
Cyclamen coum
Cyclamen coum, the eastern sowbread, is a tuberous winter- and spring-flowering perennial native to the region around the Black Sea, from Bulgaria through northern Turkey to the Caucasus, with an isolated population reaching Lebanon and northern Israel. It forms a low, flattened tuber that rests dormant through summer heat, then pushes up rounded, heart-shaped leaves - often marbled silver - alongside shell-shaped flowers in white, pink, or deep magenta from late winter into spring. One of the hardiest cyclamen species, it naturalises readily under deciduous trees and shrubs, self-seeding into drifts over the years.
Ivy-leaved Cyclamen
Cyclamen hederifolium
Cyclamen hederifolium, commonly known as ivy-leaved cyclamen or hardy cyclamen, is a tuberous perennial native to the Mediterranean regions of southern Europe and southwestern Turkey, including Italy, France, Greece, and the Balkans. A member of the Primulaceae family, it is one of the hardiest and easiest-to-naturalize cyclamen species for temperate gardens. Its specific epithet, hederifolium, refers to the ivy-like (Hedera) shape of its leaves, which display striking silver marbling. Pink to magenta or white butterfly-shaped flowers with reflexed petals appear in late summer and autumn, typically emerging before or alongside the new foliage. After flowering, the plant produces ornamental leaves through autumn and winter before going dormant in summer, when the tuber rests beneath the soil. It is widely grown as ground cover beneath deciduous trees and shrubs, where it naturalizes into extensive carpets over the years.
Persian Cyclamen
Cyclamen persicum
Cyclamen persicum is a charming tuberous perennial native to the Mediterranean region, prized for its elegant upswept flowers and heart-shaped marbled leaves. It blooms prolifically during winter when most houseplants are dormant, providing vibrant color indoors. The flowers come in shades of white, pink, red, and purple, often with a sweet fragrance.
European Cyclamen
Cyclamen purpurascens
European Cyclamen (Cyclamen purpurascens) is a tuberous perennial in the family Primulaceae, native to the mountain forests of Central Europe. It is distinguished by its evergreen, heart-shaped leaves with elegant silver patterns and its sweetly fragrant flowers in shades of pink to deep purple, blooming from summer through autumn. It is one of the hardiest cyclamen species, tolerating temperatures well below freezing.
Caigua
Cyclanthera pedata
Caigua (Cyclanthera pedata) is a fast-growing annual climbing vine from the Cucurbitaceae family, native to the Andean regions of Peru. Its thin, tendril-bearing stems grow to a length of approximately 4.5 m, with palmately divided leaves measuring 10–12 cm in diameter. Small white-greenish flowers grow in the leaf axils. The light green, slightly curved fruits grow up to 20 cm and have a smooth or finely spiked skin; young fruits are eaten raw, while more mature ones are stuffed.
Split-leaf Cyclanthus
Cyclanthus bipartitus
Cyclanthus bipartitus, known within its family as the "Panama hat plant" (Cyclanthaceae), is a stemless perennial herb native to humid tropical rainforests ranging from southern Mexico and Central America to Venezuela, the Guianas, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and northern Brazil. It typically grows along stream banks and in swampy understory areas, forming dense clumps. Its long leaves (50 to 100 cm or more) are deeply divided in half from the base, resembling a split fan or a fishtail—therefore, despite its palm-like appearance, it is not a true palm. It produces a spadix inflorescence with flowers arranged in discs, orange in color, with a fragrance reminiscent of a blend of cinnamon and vanilla; among Amazonian indigenous peoples, these flowers are used in body adornments.
Dark Fieldcap
Cyclocybe erebia
Cyclocybe erebia, formerly known as Agrocybe erebia, is a saprophytic fungus that plays a crucial role in the decomposition of organic matter. It is characterized by a dark brown cap, often slimy when wet, which becomes wrinkled and pale as it dries. It features a persistent membranous ring on the stem and gills that change from grayish to chocolate brown as the spores mature. It is commonly found in rich soils of deciduous forests or gardens with heavy mulch.
Quince
Cydonia oblonga
Cydonia oblonga, commonly known as quince, is a deciduous small tree or large shrub in the family Rosaceae. Native to southwest Asia and the Caucasus region, it produces fragrant pinkish-white flowers in spring and large, golden-yellow, pear-shaped aromatic fruits in autumn. One of the oldest cultivated fruits, quince has been grown for thousands of years for its culinary and medicinal properties.
