Euphorbia terracina

Post by MWP admin »

I have identified this as Euphorbia terracina in the past but maybe I did a quick analysis. Today I photographed some more, and realised that although the habit is similar, the leaves are different. Could be becasue one was taken in June (and the normal leaves have dropped, and what is left are the 'ray leaves' ) and one in November with its veg. leaves in full galore.

I agree with you! the flowers are typical of Euphorbia terracina but the leaves have a very strange shape.
