I am not sure about the spelling, but the name is Swahili. I have a great number of Swahili speaking friends, to whom I would like to say Jambo! One of them, Sheikha Masoud has a small garden in her office. All manner of indoor plants, including something called Pompio. What is special about Pompio is that, once crushed or cut, the leaves emit a frangrant smell. It is unique, it is good. I took several cuttings to india, but none of them grew roots. Finally, she said, take my plant with roots, it will grow.
Now , in India the plant has grown big, and since it has no name, i call it joellum sheikha!
This blog is dedicated to Sheikha masould , my good colleague, friend and once shrink.
sheikhas family had brought this plant from Zanzibar.
