Etymology

From the genus name.

Noun

talinum (plural talinums)

  1. Any of the genus Talinum of herbaceous succulent plants, some with edible leaves.
    • 2007 August 16, Anne Raver, “A Connecticut Hillside of Feisty Beauties”, in New York Times:
      These plants have to look good, because of their striking shape, vibrant color or tendency to spread out and meander over the stones in the path, or to weave themselves through other plants the way a golden form of talinum winds through the swordlike leaves of a yucca.
