Euphorbia dregeana

As the first picture shows, these up to 2m tall, dense clumps are very conspicuous in the field.
The branches are yellowish-green to grey-green, usually up to 3 cm thick at the base and 1.2 cm in diameter above, with leaves that soon disappear.
Between July to September one can find the plants in flower.

The plants occur mainly in flat open gravelly or sandy plains, sometimes on low stony slopes. They are widely distributed from the Haalenberg east of Luederitz in Namibia to Kamieskroon in Namaqualand and Namies in Bushmanland.

  1. Just confirming ID of my long stick plant which has decided to grow after about 5 years. It is flowering, I have put it in a bigger pot, but i am thinking that the winter rain in Simons Town may not be good for it ,(when is it going to rain?). Thanks for the info, Frans, sadly no vetplantfees this year,
    Alison.
