discovered in Brasil?
I think he discovered it on an Pacific Island and later brought those plants to Brasil !
Bougainville is an volcanic island (1990 est. pop. 154,000), c.3,880 sq mi (10,050 sq km), SW Pacific, largest in the Solomon Islands chain. With Buka and smaller neighboring islands, it forms an autonomous region of Papua New Guinea Papua New Guinea Bougainville is rugged and densely forested. There are several good harbors, with the main port at Kieta. The economy is mainly agricultural; major exports are copra, ivory nuts, green snails, cocoa, tortoise shells, and trepang. Copper mining was important until 1989 when an insurrection closed down the mine. The center of administration is at Sohano, a coral island in the Buka Passage.
The island was explored in 1768 by the French navigator Louis de Bougainville Bougainville, Louis Antoine de , 1729–1811, French navigator.. Unlike the rest of the Solomon Islands Solomon Islands, independent Commonwealth nation (2005 est. pop. 538,000), c.15,500 sq mi (40,150 sq km), SW Pacific, E of New Guinea. The islands that constitute the nation of the Solomon Islands— Guadalcanal , Malaita, New Georgia, the Santa Cruz Islands, Choiseul, Ysabel, which became British territory, Bougainville and Buka became part of German New Guinea in 1884.

Who knows the real truth wherer Bougainvillea flowers come originally from?
