Mystery Monday - Name That Shrub!

Isn't the bark of last week's tree gorgeous? I love all of the colors. Thanks to Leslie, Karen and Margaret, we know this is the Lacebark pine (Pinus bungeana).
Your clues for this week:
- This tropical evergreen shrub is a member of the Acanthaceae family.
- The common names refer to the plant as a yellow crustacean, a yellow source of light, and a candy.
- There's at least a couple of scientific names that this plant goes by.
Good luck!
