Euphorbia miliicrown of thorns. The species is named for Baron Milius, governor of Reunion (then Island of Bourbon), who introduced the plant to France in 1821. The common name comes from the belief that this plant provided the crown of thorns worn by Jesus. The tale may have some validity since evidence suggests the plant was introduced from its native Madagascar before the time of Christ. The red bracts of the specimen above measure 15 mm across while the flower parts total 5 mm. The plant is in a private garden in Berkeley, CA.

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 "flower" in the photo is quite small, measuring approximately 5 mm. The plant photographed is from a private garden in Berkeley, CA.
