The prostrate clockflower (scientific name: Turnera diffusa Willd. ex Schult.) belongs to the Passiflora family and the Turnera genus. It is fragrant and can grow up to 2 meters tall. The leaves are broad ovate, with serrated edges, and are light green and smooth. The flowers have 5 petals and are yellow. The capsule is nearly spherical, with the lobes extending to the base. The seeds are oval to long-elliptical, measuring 1.5-1.8 millimeters in length.
The prostrate clockflower is native to Mexico, southern California of the United States, the northern part of the Caribbean Islands, and Namibia. It is found both in the wild and as an artificially cultivated plant, and it prefers hot and humid areas. It is commonly found on beaches, in dry tropical forests, and in savanna with rocky soil.
The prostrate clockflower is a medicinal plant. It is usually collected from the wild and used to make tea and herbal medicines. The prostrate clockflower was a traditional spring medicine for the Mayans of Central America. It is still regarded as a valuable spring medicine and general tonic, and its stimulating medicinal effect makes it a valuable drug for treating patients with mild depression. The leaves are used as a substitute for tea and also as an ingredient in liqueurs.
