Jatropha integerrima or Teikinzakura (scientific name:Jatropha integerrima) is a small tropical evergreen shrub of the Euphorbiaceae family, native to Cuba and the West Indies. From spring to early summer, it produces many pink five-petaled flowers in the inflorescence that emerge from the stem of a flower hanging from the ends of branches. The leaves are green and oval in shape and color, typical of leaves. It is called Teikinzakura (literally "Teikin cherry tree") because the leaves resemble a violin. It is not a member of the cherry blossom family, despite the fact that the name of the flower has "cherry blossom" in it's name, and the shape and color of the flowers are similar to those of the cherry tree.
