Shrub of Mexico and Central America with showy scarlet bracts (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

poinsettia

(Other definitions for poinsettia that I've seen before include "American plant" , "Shrub often given at Christmas" , "Plant with showy bracts, usu. red, pink or white" , "bloom" , "Ornamental house plant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
