Euphorbia mauritanicagolden spurge. The name "mauritanica" is a misnomer. Linnaeus adopted the name from an earlier botanist, having no idea that the plant was from Southern Africa, about as far away from Mauretania (think Northern Morrocco) as you can get and still be in Africa. The "flowers" in the photo is quite small, measuring approximately 5 mm. The plant photographed is from a private garden in Berkeley, CA.
