  • Chaya, also known as Tree Spinach, is a large, fast growing leafy perennial shrub, native to the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico. It has succulent stems which exude a milky sap when cut. It can grow to be 6 meters tall, but is usually pruned to about 2m for easier leaf harvest. It is popular in Mexico and Central America as a leafy vegetable, cooked and eaten like spinach; raw leaves are toxic. It is taxonomically recognized as belonging to Cnidoscolus aconitifolius (Miller) I. M. Johnston subsp. aconitifolius. The name Cnidoscolus chayamansa McVaugh is still sometimes used. Ross-Ibarra and Molina-Cruz (2002) recognize four varieties that are cultivated and morphologically distinct. (en)
  • La Chaya (Cnidoscolus chayamansa y Cnidoscolus aconitifolius), también conocida como el Árbol Espinaca, es un arbusto robusto de hojas perennes, perteneciente a la familia de las Euphorbiaceae, nativo de la Península de Yucatán en México. Se asemeja en su porte a una planta de hibiscus o de casava. Es muy popular en México y en Centroamérica pues sus hojas se utilizan como una berza, que son cocinadas y preparadas como las espinacas. Las hojas crudas son tóxicas. (es)
