Best Answer

The genus (or first part of the scientific name) for bougainvillea is actually "bougainvillea." There are several species, including Bougainvillea glabra, which if you are in the southern United States, this is most likely the horticultural species you will find.

If in South America, there are species called Bougainvillea peruviana and Bougainvillea spinosa.

Bougainvillea is both the common and scientific name.Specifically, the thorny, woody vine grows natively in Argentina, Brazil, Peru and Uruguay. The scientific name which ensued after the plant's first known description by a European (Philibert Commerçon, 1727-1773) honors the French doctor's "boss", Louis-Antoine, comte de Bougainville (1729-1811). English speakers never looked to other words to function as the plant's common designation even though there are many such equivalents in Latin America's languages.
