What country in the poinsettia native to?

Answer 1

Poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima) are native to scattered parts of Central and South America; but not N. America.

The plant itself has different names in different countries. For example in Chile, Colombia and Peru, this plant is nick-named "la crona de los andes" which means the crown of the andes.

The name poinsettia, was given (only here in the U.S. ) after it was introduced to the U.S. by a French botanist named Joel Roberts Poinsett, who brought it back from Mexico in 1828.

Answer 2

The western and the northern hemispheres are the parts of the world to which poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima) are native.

Specifically, the plant is native to southwestern Mexico and also to Central America. The country and the region are included within the Western Hemisphere and the more southerly parts of the northern hemisphere. So the plant also is native to semi-tropical and tropical areas of the Americas.
