Euphorbia anoplia (WA Prohibited)

Euphorbia anoplia is a compact South African succulent species prized for its unusual spineless appearance and sculptural growth habit. The thick ribbed stems slowly offset over time, forming attractive clustered specimens with a clean geometric appearance.

This species is highly regarded by Euphorbia collectors for its cactus-like form, compact size, and ability to develop character with age.

Some plants may display unusual crested or distorted growth forms which become increasingly attractive as specimens mature.
