Emilia fosbergii
Also called Red Tasselflower
Emilia fosbergii is a species of plant in the sunflower family. It is commonly known in the United States as Florida tasselflower.
Emilia fosbergii is widely distributed in tropical and semitropical parts of the world: Africa, South and Southeast Asia, northern Australia, North and South America, and various oceanic islands. Its region of origin is the subject of some dispute; some say it is native to Africa, while others say Asia or South America. It is reportedly naturalized in scattered locations in the United States, including Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
