People should spell this word correctly on this page as well as on the main article. I found numerous spelling errors of this word. There are errors on this page. The proper spelling is Bougainvillea. Most mistakes were where the villEa part is. I have made all corrections on the main article.Just pointing it out.

I work extensively with bougainvilleas in a manner where I'm literally using an angle-grinder with rasp-disks to carve (live) bougainvillea trunks (for shaping large bougainvillea bonsai specimen), I've been covered with tons of every part of this species, all 3 of the main cultivars, every part- from bark to heartwood, and it *does not* produce any skin-irritating reactions (and I'm highly allergic to poison ivy)
When I checked the reference someone used to 'cite' that claim, it was a chart and bougainvillea *was* on it, but *not* under the same category as poison ivy/sumac/oak, it was the same category as poinsettias which indicated some could get hives (though again I have been just covered in bougainvillea dust/particles from 1hr+ carving sessions and never had any irritation so it's incredibly mild in whatever it purportedly irritates, I'd hate to remove someone else's section so I'm leaving this in hopes someone sees & agrees, and removes it - that way there's 2 votes for removal :) ) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.73.77.58 ( talk) 17:27, December 6, 2017 (UTC)

The bracts are used to make a refreshing drink with lime and sugar in Mexico a type of Agua Fresca I was very surprised this is not part of the article. 2603:8000:E3F:BEF6:6C21:EA42:47A4:D3C8 ( talk) 16:34, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
The Joseph Banks page makes a rival claim to the plant's initial discovery, citing Richard Holmes's The Age of Wonder. Not much information online, but some possibility that this confusion stems from Banks's supplement to de Bougainville's account. [1] Ganteka ( talk) 21:06, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
