This guy was cool
the lack of mentions of his time i Chile is lacking (the called "time in south america"), specially his friendship with Chilean revolutionary Jose Miguel Carrera.
This guy was a intervensionist: he killed the Emperor Agustin by helping the called "liberals", while trying to establish a Republic; and stole the famous Xmas flower from Mexico.
- Stole? Introduced it to English-speaking people, so it has his name there. Plants often have different names in different areas.
But if you are a deranged anti-American, any stick is good enough to take a whack, I guess

He did not kill Emperor Iturbide, he overthrew him.
Nochebuena is not translated, as Christmas flower (Nochebuena is Christmas Eve in Spanish), indeed its name is Poinsettia because Poinsett took it to the United States. Wasn't discovered by him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.143.130.119 (talk) 00:47, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
Personal life
Various tidbits of Poinsett's "personal life" are scattered about the article, so the section heading is a bit misleading, but the section (or the article) has a number of omissions. For example, did he have any children? --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 15:17, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
