Description
The stems of this medium-sized (30–70 cm tall), densely branched shrub are thin, segmented, dichotomous, and erect or spreading. Each node, along the segmented branches, is marked with a pair of large, dark, reddish stipular glands. It produces large numbers of small, bright yellow flowers.
Related species. This species is part of a group of closely related "stick euphorbias" including Euphorbia rhombifolia and Euphorbia tenax, which are widespread across southern Africa. In habitat it also often grows together with the more distantly related species Euphorbia mauritanica.
