Yet another Euphorbia

Post by MWP admin »

I am posting images of another Euphorbia growing in soil.

From its habitat and prostrate growth, I figured out that it is E. prostrata... but when I noted the leaves are large (5-10mm) , I was wondering if it is something else. Most of the E. prostrata I have seen had tiny leaves.

Here are the pics:

Possibly some var of E. prostrata?
E. terracina out of question right?

It's my bread and butter :wink: Thanks you for your appreciation!

To confirm things out, I gave a look at dusty Haslam and it states that the leaf length can vary from 2mm to 11mm, so my 6-10mm falls in the range.

Thanks you guys
