Bougainvillea (Bougainvillea sp.) is a popular tropical plant that grows in the area where winter temperature remains above 30 degrees F. It belongs to the family Nyctaginaceae. is native to coastal Brazil and south to southern Argentina.
It was first discovered by Dr. Philibert Commerçon. It was first published as ‘Buginvillea’ in Genera Plantarium by A.L. de Jusseau. The genus was afterward split in several ways until it was finally corrected to ‘Bougainvillea’ in the Index Kewensis in the 1930s
