Resin SpurgeCollection plant is in a 6" pot.
Native to Morocco, where it grows on the slopes of the Atlas Mountains in the surroundings of Marrakesh. It is a dense succulent shrub growing to 25" tall, forming multi-stemmed cushion-shaped clumps up to 1" wide. Stems are erect, succulent, 4 sided (almost square) that look superficially like a cactus. Light green to glaucous blue color, depending upon light. Brown, short, sharp spines in pairs on the angles of the ribs, spaced about 1/2" apart up the stem. As with all Euphorbias when a plant gets damaged it exudes a thick white milky sap known as latex. This latex (resin) is poisonous and contains some of the most potent irritants known to man.
