Acalypha chamaedrifolia, the red cat's tail, is a species of flowering plant in the family Euphorbiaceae, native to southern Florida and the islands of the Caribbean.[1] [2] It performs best in a loam-less potting mixture.[3] As its synonym Acalypha hispaniolae it gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit in 2002, but this seems to have been rescinded.[4]
