[Captain2]

Hebe (/ˈhiːbiː/; Greek: Ἥβη), in ancient Greek religion and mythology, often given the epithet Ganymeda (meaning "Gladdening Princess"),[1] is the goddess of youth or of the prime of life.[2] She functioned as the cupbearer for the gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus, serving their nectar and ambrosia. People of Sicyon also worshipped her as the goddess of forgiveness or of mercy.[1]

I think that the young leaves of the rubber plant are edible but agree that it is a bit tenuous. In the absence of another answer I am stumped.
