Euphorbia is a genus of plants belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae. Consisting of about 2160 species, Euphorbia is one of the most diverse genera in the plant kingdom. Members of the family and genus are sometimes referred to as Spurges. The genus is primarily found in the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and the Americas, but also in temperate zones worldwide. Succulent species originate mostly from Africa, the Americas and Madagascar. There exists a wide range of insular species, namely on the Hawaiian Islands where spurges are collectively known as ʻakoko[1]

The common name "spurge" derives from the Middle English/Old French espurge ("to purge"), due to the use of the plant's sap as a purgative.

The botanical name Euphorbia derives from Euphorbus, the Greek physician of king Juba II of Numidia (52-50 BC - 23 AD). He is reported to have used a certain plant, possibly Resin Spurge (E. resinifera), as a herbal remedy when the king suffered from a swollen belly[verification needed]. Carolus Linnaeus assigned the name Euphorbia to the entire genus in the physician's honor.

Hi Umar

I have had a problem on TrekNature for a long time which nobody was
able to resolve yet. When I open certain postings, once it opened the frame and
it starts to load, then it suddenly disappears. Vamoose, gone, missing…
Unfortunately a lot of your postings, especially the later ones, do this so I cannot
critique them and therefore I've gone back to one of your earlier postings. We have
a number of Euphorbia species here in South Africa of which I have 3 different ones
in my garden. I just love them and I really found your note very interesting.

The specimen on your image stands out well in its natural habitat. The bright green
and yellow plant must be very distinctive in its surroundings. You have captured
lovely details and the colour tones are well balanced.

Good work and TFS.
Regards
Loot
