<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) is a seasonal shrub or tree. It is drought-resistant and easy to grow in tropical to semi-tropical locations. The plant lives for as much as 50 years and may grow almost 20 feet (6 m.) high. It has a deep, thick taproot which makes it adaptable to poor, dry soil. The leaves are oval, lobed, and deciduous. Overall, the plant is not particularly visually attractive, however it does get attractive green cymes of flowerets which turn into a tri-compartment fruit with big [black seeds](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html).

An intriguing piece of [Jatropha tree](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) information is that it is noted as a weed in Brazil, Fiji, Honduras, India, Jamaica, Panama, Puerto Rico, and [Salvador](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm).

Its usefulness has actually been challenged, but it is true the plant can produce seeds with an oil material of 37%.
