The poinsettia (/p??n's?ti?/ or /p??n's?t?/) (Euphorbia pulcherrima) is a commercially important herb types of the diverse spurge family. The kinds is indigenous to Mexico. It is particularly well known because of its green and red foliage which is trusted in Xmas floral exhibits. It derives its common English name from Joel Roberts Poinsett,[3] the first United States Minister to Mexico,[4] who introduced the plant to the US in 1825.

Euphorbia pulcherrima is a shrub or small tree, reaching a elevation of 0 typically.6-4 metres (2 ft 0 in-13 ft 1 in). The herb bears dark renewable dentate leaves that strategy 7-16 centimetres (2.8-6.3 in) in length. The colored bracts--which are most often flaming red but can be orange, pale green, cream, pink, white, or marbled--are mistaken for rose petals because of their groupings and colors often, but are actually leaves.[citation needed] The colors of the bracts are manufactured through photoperiodism, meaning that they require darkness (12 hours at the same time for at least five days in a row) to improve color. At the same time, the plants require considerable light through the full day for the brightest color. The flowers of the poinsettia are unassuming and do not attract pollinators. They are simply grouped within small yellowish structures within the center of every leaf number, and are called cyathia. The poinsettia is indigenous to Mexico. It is found in the outdoors in deciduous tropical forests at average elevations from southern Sinaloa down the entire Pacific coast of Mexico to Chiapas and Guatemala. Additionally it is found in the interior in the hot, dried out forests of Guerrero seasonally, Oaxaca, and Chiapas. Information of E. pulcherrima growing in the wild in Costa and Nicaragua Rica have yet to be affirmed by botanists. You can find over 100 cultivated types of poinsettia.

The Aztecs used the plant to produce red dye and as an antipyretic medication. In Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, the plant is called Cuitlaxochitl, meaning "flower that grows in residues or soil" Today it is well known in Mexico and Guatemala as Flor de Noche Buena, meaning Christmas Eve Flower. In Spain it is known as Flor de Pascua or Pascua, indicating Easter flower. In Peru and Chile, the vegetable became known as Crown of the Andes. In Turkey, it is called Atat?rk's flower because Atat?rk, the creator of the Republic, liked this flower and made a substantial contribution to its cultivation in Turkey.[citation needed] In Hungarian, it is named Santa Claus' Blossom, and it's widely used as a Christmas decoration.

The plant's relationship with Christmas began in 16th-century Mexico, where tale tells of a woman, called Pepita or Maria commonly, who was too poor to give a gift idea for the party of Jesus' birthday and was motivated by an angel to assemble weeds from the roadside and place them in front of the chapel altar. Crimson blossoms sprouted from the weeds and became beautiful poinsettias. From the 17th century, Franciscan friars in Mexico included the crops in their Christmas celebrations. The star-shaped leaf structure is thought to symbolize the Superstar of Bethlehem, and the red color represents the bloodstream sacrifice through the crucifixion of Jesus. Poinsettias are popular Xmas decorations in homes, churches, office buildings, and across North America somewhere else. They can be purchased in good sized quantities from grocery, drug, and hardware stores. In america, December 12 is Country wide Poinsettia Day.
