An attractive and bizarrely beautiful Euphorb from Madagascar. Thick, procumbent stems bear distinctive leaf scars and inch-long, succulent, very crisped or crinkled leaves. A very flat growing, mat forming shrub with an underground caudex. Flowers or cyathea are tan to pinkish. Light exposure will determine color which can range from deep green to pinkish brown. A superb plant for container culture or rock garden. Water about weekly in warm months and allow a drier rest during cooler periods. Propagate from seed or stem cuttings.

A woody shrub-like spineless Euphorbia from southern Madagascar, which forms a silver-barked trunk and full crown of branches with narrow dark green/gray leaves.

Most amazing is the size of the caudex it ultimately makes, a gourd-like, woody main root up to 6 inches thick which can be elevated above the soil. Makes a great succulent bonsai subject.

A spiny, upright growing shrub with many branches, each with rows of spines, borne in clusters. The deciduous foliage is somewhat tomentose and is found at the tops of the stems only, the cyathia are red. Native to coastal regions of north-eastern Madagascar in the department of Antsiranana in the Iharana district, after which it is named. The terrain is reportedly granitic rocks and soils.

Shipped partially bare-root.

A procumbent, shrub-like Euphorbia with a surprisingly ample caudex. The plant is a low grower with pencil thick branches bearing tiny spines. When in leaf, the foliage is oblong, with wavy margins and slightly pubescent. The cyathea vary from chartreuse to tan or pinkish-red. The caudex will form underground but can be elevated above the soil. It gets quite thick, to about 2 inches in time. Native to the area of Tongobory in southeastern Madagascar.

This is a new but as yet taxonomically undescribed species from Tanzania. Collected by Mike Massara, it is a tall shrub, at least in our collection, with small, deciduous leaves. It apparently forms a pachycaul trunk in time. Not much information for sure, but then it's all that we know.
