euphorbia
Latex-producing succulent genus
Euphorbia is a large genus of plants, many of which produce a milky, often toxic sap.
The genus includes diverse forms—from small garden weeds to cactus-like succulents to the familiar poinsettia.
Gardeners know euphorbias for their unusual bracts and drought tolerance: The euphorbia bed needs almost no watering.
