Christmas Star ~ Year 1863

Known as Kastuba in the Indies, Poinsettia Pulcherrima was first described by Europeans in 1834. This beautiful red-and-green flower is actually native to Mexico but thrives in the climate of the East Indies. Because of its hues, the plant is typically used as decoration during Christmas, hence its common name in English.

This image was originally published in Belgium in the year 1863 by Berthe van Nooten, as one of a series of forty Southeast Asian botanical lithographs depicting fruits and flowers.
