One of the truly beautiful euphorbias to be introduced in the last decade, this species is native to the Marsabit district of northern Kenya.

It's a great plant for the succulent collection because it's very easy to cultivate, does not become too large, and everyone who sees it will comment on how attractive it is.

Exceptionally nice!
