Hi, Thiruvengadam ji, Appears like Euphorbia pulcherrima (Poinsettia, Christmas flower, Mexican flame leaf, Christmas star, Winter rose). Some extracts from Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poinsettia Euphorbia pulcherrima is a shrub or small tree, typically reaching a height of 0.6 to 4 m (2 to 16 ft). The plant bears dark green dentate leaves that measure 7 to 16 cm (3 to 6 inches) in length. The top leaves, known as bracts, are flaming red, pink, or white and are often mistaken as flowers. The actual flowers are grouped within the small yellow structures found in the center of each leaf bunch, which are called cyathia.
