Common names: hairy coleus (English). 
Botanical name: Coleus hadiensis

The hairy coleus, Coleus hadiensis, is an attractive, aromatic perennial shrub that flowers in autumn. It grows well in humid, moist, shaded areas. It can be propagated from cuttings and grown in containers or garden beds. Coleus hadiensis is drought tolerant due to its semi-succulent stems. It spreads easily and re-sprouts after fire. Once used to poison fish, this adaptable, easy care plant is now popular ornamentally. It requires little maintenance beyond watering, fertilizing, pinching back flowers, and occasional pruning.
