Plectranthus scutellarioides, or otherwise known as Coleus, is a shrubby native to the perennially warm climates of India, southeast Asia, and Australia, but has since been naturalized throughout many of the tropics. Plectranthus scutellarioides is also synonymous with Solenostemon scutellarioides (its former taxonomical name) and is in fact a member of the coleus genus.
