Poinsettia is an ancient botanical genus, now classified as a subgenus of the Euphorbiaceae family. It is considered synonymous with the genus Euphorbia( trueEuphorbias ).
One of the species formerly classified as a Poinsettia, then called Poinsettia pulcherrima and now called Euphorbia pulcherrima, is commonly referred to as " Poinsettia ".
Nevertheless, Poinsettia is a genus that has contained dozens of species. The name " Poinsettia " given to Euphorbia pulcherrima alone is therefore a source of more or less dangerous misunderstandings. Euphorbia are toxic species that are also extremely irritating.()
