Devil's Backbone

Euphorbias comprise one of the largest and most diverse genera in the plant kingdom, ranging from tiny groundcovers to massive, tree-like succulents. Often mistaken for cacti due to their thick, water-storing stems and protective spines, they are distinguished by their milky white latex sap, which is a natural deterrent against herbivores. These plants are primarily native to Africa and Madagascar and are prized for their architectural forms, ranging from the geometric columns of E. trigona to the bright, petal-like bracts of the Crown of Thorns.
