Euphorbia punicea
Jamaican poinsettia
Flor de pascua jamaicana
Jamaikanischer Weihnachtsstern
Poinsétia jamaicana
Poinsettia jamaïcain
The small insignificant golden yellow flowers are surrounded by a very showy crown of flashy-red petal-like bracts, looking like larger flowers from a distance. Unlike the poinsettia this large shrub or small tree may flowers year round. The species is native to Bahamas, Cuba and Jamaica, where it grows in semi-arid areas on calcareous soils in full sun.
