Bougenville or Paper Flower (Bougainvillea) is a genus of plants from the Nyctaginaceae family and is an ornamental plant that is very popular around the world for its beautiful flowers. Bougenville is known to come from eastern South America, its natural habitat from Brazil, west to Peru, and south to southern Argentina.

Generally, Bougenville grows to form a shrub with a height of 1-10 meters, has dense branches and sharp spines. Bougenville trees always have green leaves in the rainy season or if they get enough water, but they will fall in the long dry season or with very limited water.

Bougenville foliage is an alternate, simple, 5-15 cm long and 4-6 cm wide. Bougenville flowers are small and generally white, but each group of three flowers is surrounded by three or six bracts of bright colors such as pink, magenta, purple, red, orange, yellow, or white.

HISTORY OF BOUGENVILLE

Philibert Commerçon was the first European to describe this plant, he was also a botanist who accompanied French Navy admiral Louis Antoine de Bougainville during his circumnavigation of the Earth, and was first published by Antoine Laurent de Jussieu in 1789.

It is possible that the other first to observe this plant was Jeanne Beret, Commerçon’s lover, and assistant. Since she wasn’t allowed to board the ship as a woman, she disguised herself as a man to travel (and became the first woman to circumnavigate the world).

20 years after Commerçon’s description was published as “Buginvillæa” in the Plantarum Genera by AL de Jussieu in 1789. The genus was then spelled in several ways until it was finally designated “Bougainvillea” in the Kewensis Index in the 1930s.

At first, Bougainvillea spectabilis and Bougainvillea glabra were indistinguishable until the mid-1980s when botanists classified them as distinct species. In the early 19th century, these two species were the first to be introduced to Europe, and soon, nurseries in France and England were selling these varieties in Australia and throughout their former colonies. Meanwhile, Kew Gardens distributed plants that had been distributed to British colonies around the world.

Currently, Bougenville trees are widely planted in various locations, such as in public parks, house yards, office yards, schoolyards, yards, religions, to the side of the highway. Because quite a several species were grown side by side, natural hybrids were finally found, and are now a common occurrence around the world.

Tens to hundreds of types of Bougenville are now available, but some are people’s dreams because of the beautiful colors and shapes of the flowers. The following are some of the most beautiful types of Bougenville that the

Bougenville grows best in dry soil, in very bright full sun, and regular fertilizing. Bougenville will not thrive in moist soil or wet areas.

CULTIVATION OF BOUGENVILLE

To cultivate Bougainville is very easy, they can be propagated through young branch cuttings or old stems.

The characteristic of the Bougainville tree which is relatively easy to grow in tropical climates makes it an ornamental tree that people choose to plant in pots or directly in the ground. Bougenville is also suitable as a living fence because of the texture of the branches that are elongated and flexible.
