Etymology
Talinum is a Latin-style scientific name for a group of mostly American, small, thick-leaved (succulent) herbs. A helpful way to remember it is to think of Talinum as a family or surname put into Latin for a group of plants, so the name points to those ornamental or edible herbs you may see in gardens.
