The species is collectively called " star of Christmas ", because its bracts form a star and it is mainly marketed at the time of Christmas in the north hemisphere.

This shrubby spurge is native of Central and South America of Mexico, region in which she can reach 4,5 meters high.

It is colored bracts lively red that make its decorative value, having interest flowers. Nowadays, the selection produced varieties in the pink or white bracts.
Sheets alternate are dark green, acuminées on cuneiform base and on the long petiole which can be colored, in the marked nervures and marginally waved. Lancéolées bracts take a red color lively.
