Medical plant - Iresine herbstii

The chicken gizzard or beefsteak plant (Iresine herbstii Hooker) is native to tropical South America probably first collected in Brazil. The plant is an herbaceous sub shrub used as a potted plant in temperate areas and a border plant in subtropical and tropical areas. The plant has two distinct forms based upon leaf shape: plants with ovate leaves and those with obcordate (inversely heart-shaped).

The plant is variegated green and yellow, but often 'sports' branches with burgundy and pink or crimson variegation. These branches can be removed and perpetuated by rooting. The common name, chicken gizzard, derives from the obcordate leaves with the dark variegation. ("Iresine", A-Z Encyclopedia of Garden Plants, American Horticultural Society, C. Brickell and J.D.
