Pls Help ID This Shrub (Asia)

12 years ago

I've been randomly throwing fruits in the garden & there are also squirrels coming by and donating their droppings(which sometimes have seeds in them).

So this shrub suddenly appeared among the weeds.

It's soft & slightly furry but not thorny.

Appreciate all the help I can get! =)

Given your location (Malaysia ) I suspect something in the Acanthaceae.

Here is a link that might be useful: Acanthaceae

Neither shrub nor tree but an aroid which will die back to a tuber in the winter.

The second one looks like Balsam - a pretty annual - here's a link - easy easy to grow. The seeds are in pods and like their cousin the Impatien, the seeds explode out when you squeeze the pod Pat http://www.robsplants.com/plants/ImpatGland.php

Just got a few clue about this plant. I went to another garden center and they also sell these. The seller said it is some kind of money plant (not really sure about this but maybe what she meant is it is for luck). And I believe it's related to Chinese New Year. I strongly believe it is some kind of dracaena. Chinese like lucky bamboo so much for CNY. Maybe a new cultivar because another staff there said that it is the first time he sees this plant. Definitely not a sans because the leaves is soft not stiff.
