Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch

Euphorbia puSfeherrima (Graham),-Willcfi-V Boiss. in D.C. Prod.,
xt, pt. 2, 71,
. Asuncion (*742).
This fine plant is cultivated largely in the flower-gardens of
Paraguay. I do not think, however, that, it grows wild in the
country. It is a native of Mexico and Central America. It is
conspicuous for the large showy red floral leaves, and sometimes
grows 2^ m. high. It flowers nearly the. entire year round.
