North America is the native continent of poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima).

Specifically, the plant's native range is southwestern Mexico. Mexico is a Latin American country in the sense that its culture, languages and peoples ultimately descend - in part - from the ancient European civilization of the Latin-speaking Romans. Nevertheless, it is located on the North American continent.
