What plant is named after the first U.S. ambassador to Mexico, who brought it to the United States?

• Poinsettia:The poinsettia is a plant species indigenous to Mexico and Central America. It is particularly well known for its red and green foliage and is widely used in Christmas floral displays. It derives its common English name from Joel Roberts Poinsett, the first U.S. Minister to Mexico, who is credited with introducing the plant to the United States in the 1820s. Every year in the US, approximately 70 million poinsettias are sold in a six-week period. Many of these poinsettias are grown by Paul Ecke Ranch, which serves 70% of the US market.
