Poinsettia, poinsezia and stella di Nataleare Italian equivalents of the English word "poinsettia." Birthplace and personal preference determine whether the genus name (case 1), the Italianized equivalent (example 2) or the common name "Christmas star" or "star of (the) Nativity" (instance 3) suits. The respective pronunciations will be "poyn-SET-tya," "poyn-SEH-tsya" and "STEL-la dee na-TA-ley" in Pisan Italian.
