Description:
Talinum
paniculatum is a fleshy, shrubby, erect, glabrous
herbaceous plant, from the purslane family, that grows up to 100(-120) cm tall
with perennial root-stock, not branched or sparsely branched at base, becoming
softly woody below. This is probably the most widespread taxon of the genus,
frequently encountered as weed. Its variability is enormous. The blooms are
starry pink with fluffy white stamens that sway on wiry stemmed sprays. The
small, delicate pink flowers in cloudlike panicles make a nice contrast to the
bright golden yellow, round seed capsules and are produced almost year-round.
It is a good shade plant.
Roots: Tuberous elongate branched and fleshy.
Stem: Succulent, slender, slightly woody at base, dark purple to brownish black.
Leaves: Alternate, simple, flat, succulent, bright green with a white or creamy border, almost sessile or with a pedicel to 15 mm long. Blade elliptical to obovate, 3-12 cm long, 1.5-4 cm wide, reduced abruptly beneath inflorescence. Base cuneate, apex obtuse or acute. Margin entire rarely revolute. Venation pinnate, indistinct. Stipules absent.
Inflorescence: A large, many-flowered terminal thyrsiform panicle, sometimes nodding, central axis 15–40(-60) cm long, laxly branched, the lateral dichasia spreading with very slender, stiff peduncles and pedicels bearing up to 30 flowers. Lateral branches sometimes contracted.

Flowers:
Bisexual, regular, smallish, to 7 mm wide, opening towards evening. Pedicel
10-20 mm long, terete, uniformly slender. Sepals 2, green or pinkish to
yellowish, ovate to suborbiculate, sometimes reflexed, deeply concave, 1.5-2 mm
long to 2.5 mm wide, caducous. Petals 5, free, obovate to orbicular or
emarginate, pink, 3-5 mm long. Stamens 15-18, filaments almost completely free,
hardly papillose basally. Ovary superior, globose, green, 1-celled, style c. 3
mm long, slender, with 3-branched linear stigma.
Fruits (capsules): Globose, sometimes obtusely trigonous, straw-yellow or amber-colored at first finishing off to a cinnamon red, 3-5 mm long, with 3 outer caducous and 3 inner membranous persistent but fragile valves elastically dehiscent from the base, many-seeded.
Phenology (Northern hemisphere): June-August (summer), September-November (fall). In the tropics flowers and capsules are produced almost year-round.
Seeds: Lenticular to comma-shaped, c. 1 mm long, shining black, smooth or tuberculate, elongated in concentric rings, minutely pitted at the cell corners. There are about 5000 seeds per gramme.
