'Estrela-do-natal' and 'Flor-do-natal' may be Portuguese equivalents of 'poinsettia' [Euphorbiaspp]. Another equivalent may be the Portuguese version of the former scientific name, 'poinsétia'.
The feminine nouns 'estrela' and 'flor'respectively mean 'star' and 'flower'. Their singular definite articles are 'a' ['the'], and their singular indefinite 'uma' ['a, one']. The word 'do' combines the preposition 'de' and the masculine singular definite article 'o' to mean 'of, from the'. The masculine noun 'natal' means 'Nativity, Christmas'. Its singular definite article is 'o' ['the'], and its singular indefinite 'um' ['a, one'].
All together, they respectively are pronounced 'ee-SHTREH-luh doo nuh-TOW'* and 'floh doo nuh-TOW'.
*The sound 'ow' is similar to that in the English exclamation of pain, 'ow'.
