Origin and Habitat: Fairly widely scattered throughout South Africa on bolth sides of orange river (Namaqualand, Bushmanland ) and Namibia
Habitat: It is an opportunistic grower, common to locally abundant on hill slopes, uncommon on rocky outcrops; occasionally found on hilltops and in other habitats. Often growing along with Aloe dichotoma. Annual rain fall varies from 150 to 300 mm

Common Names include:
ENGLISH: Slender Candelabra Euphorbia, Crown of Thorns
RUSSIAN (Русский): Молочай авасмонтана

Description: Euphorbia avasmontana is a many-stemmed, spiny, columnar cactus-like succulents branching at the base, 2-2,5 m tall that can sucker to nearly as wide. It is one of many South African Euphorbias that at fist glance look a lot like each other. Very neat habit and makes a good specimen landscape plant in a xeriscape garden.
Stems: Rarely re-branched 6-7 cm in diameter irregularly constricted at variable intervals (approx 10-15 cm), with milky latex.
Ribs: 5-7, with shallow furrows, about 1 cm apart.
Leaves: Only present on young growth on most months.
Spines: Stipular spines straight, paired, joined in a horny margin,1-2 cm long running up and down the full length of the columnar growths.
Flowers: 2–3 cymes with small (Ø 8 mm) yellow cyathia in a horizontal line, borne between spine-pairs, leaving 2–3 small scars when they fall. Nectar gland, oblong, touching, yellow.
Blooming season: Mostly in spring and autumn, but other months as well.
Fruits: Distinctly three-angled capsules up to 6 mm wide.
Seeds: Globose 1,7 mm in diameter, smooth.
Remarks: May easily be confused with Euphorbia virosa and other large euphorbias, and are therefore probably underrecorded. The differences lie in the number of scars left by the cyathia when they fall, the shape of the capsule, and the shape and branching of the stem.
