Yes, I was unknowingly going back and forth between http://www.coopext.colostate.edu/4dmg/Whats/vinca2.htm#WHAT%27S%20IN%20A%20NAME?Vinca and Catharanthus,
the latter is what we are working with. I picked a dosey to learn on

Searching Teresita is not the easiest. It is one of the common names
for Catharanthus. Even though it has been in Mexico for a long time
it originated in Madagascar.

Google search - teresita flor

Vicaria, Vinca de Madagascar (Catharanthus Roseus)

Otros nombres científicos: Lochnera rosea, vinca rosea. Algunos nombres comunes:
Teresita, Bígaro, Micaria, Vinca de Madagascar, Vinca Rosa; inglés: Periwinkle,
Old Maid, Rosy Periwinkle, Cape Periwinkle.

Many of the pages I read say something similar to the quote below, only a
couple stated it in terms like the Fox News article. Many also said it is
bad news for dogs.

"Sin embargo, se recomienda emplear esta planta con gran precaución,
si es posible bajo la asesoría de alguien experimentado en su
empleo, ya que posee sustancias que pueden ser tóxicas tanto para
las células malignas como para las células sanas del organismo."

"However, it is recommended to use this plant with great caution,
if possible under the guidance of someone experienced in its use,
since it has substances that can be toxic to both malignant cells to healthy
cells in the body."
