Euphorbia misera Benth.

국표에 없다.

Euphorbia misera is a semi-succulent shrub in the genus Euphorbia commonly known as the cliff spurge or coast spurge. A drought-deciduous shrub, it is typically found as a gnarled, straggly plant occupying seashore bluffs, hills and deserts. Like other members of its genus, it has a milky sap, which can be found exuding out of the light gray bark when damaged. The alternately-arranged leaves are round and folded in the middle, with small hairs on them. The "flowers" (actually an inflorescence called a cyathium) can be found blooming year-round, and are colored maroon or yellow in the center with 5 white to light-yellow petal-like appendages attached outside. This species is native to the Baja California peninsula and Sonora in Mexico, and the coast of Southern California in the United States, where it is a rare species. It is threatened in some localities by the development of its coastal habitat, which tends to be prime locations for high-end residential and commercial developments.

Description

Euphorbia misera is a drought-deciduous shrub standing erect or mounding. An acrid, milky sap is exuded when the leaves or branches are ruptured or cut. It has small, rounded, hairy leaves and inflorescences at the tips of the branches. The distinctive flower has a central nectar disc with a bright red appendage with scalloped edges and a light yellow fringe. The fruit is a spherical capsule with lobes containing round, wrinkled gray seeds.
