What plant did Joel R Poinsett bring to America in 1828?

The poinsettia, a Mexican flower which had been traditional in Christmas decorations long before the big motherfu**er Poinsett, not content with taking advantage on the Independence War conflicts in Mexico to the benefit of the fu**ing meddling U.S.A., takes the Nochebuena to U.S.A. and files a patent for it, again fu**ing with Mexican economy, as today the patent prevent Mexican farmers from producing the poinsettia freely, having to pay for the right of prodution. Fu** America and every ambassador of theirs that have brought to Mexico the fu**ing meddling U.S. politics for their own benefit, instead of actually helping Mexico in those difficult times when the only loser was its own people (as for the today's U.S. ambassadors in Mexico, they are not of much help anyway).
