(C.E.).The specific epithet skottsbergii, is named for Prof. Carl Johan Fredrik Skottsberg (1880-1963), a Swedish explorer and plant collector in the Hawaiian Islands and elsewhere.The subspecific epithet kalaeloana, is named Kalaeloa, an area around Barber's Point (Naval Air Station) on southwest Oahu, and on northwest Molokai from Waiakanap and Phakumauliuli to Moomomi.*_____* Even though there are separate island populations of var. skottsbergii, on Molokai this variety appears to be genetically closer to the variety vaccinioides than it does to the Oahu var. skottsbergii. Thus, C. Morden & M. Gregoritza suggest that it "should be recognized by the previously used variety name, C. skottsbergii var. audens."

Euphorbia acanthothamnos Heldr. & Sart. ex Boiss..Greek Spiny Spurge, DE: Dornbusch-WolfsmilchSlo.: no nameDat.: April 26. 2016Lat.: 35.36129 Long.: 23.90723Code: Bot_951/216_DSC1677Habitat: light, mountain, cypresses (Cupressus sempervirens) wood, moderately steep mountain slope; south aspect, rocky, skeletal ground; in shade; elevation 1.030 m (4.100 feet); average precipitations ~ 1.250 mm/year, average temperature 6-8 deg C (estimated ?), Mediterranean phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil.Place: White Mountains, somewhat above the entrance to Samaria gorge, southeast side of Omalos plateau, West Crete, Mediterranean Sea, Greece EU. Comment: Euphorbia acanthothamnos is another member of the large group of grazing-resistant plants of Crete - thorny to perfection! It sometimes forms stands covering large areas of phrygana (a type of Mediterranean garrigue, an open community of dwarf evergreen shrubs). Numerous characteristically rounded, golden hummocks in bloom offer wonderful vistas. It can be found from sea level to montane elevations (up to 2.000 m on Crete). Euphorbia is a huge and very interesting genus. About 1.600 species are known spread all over the globe. Many of them are impressive from habitus aspect as well as capable to display wonderful and large scale color impressions. Plants are of very diverse habitus - from small herbs to trees and lianas. All of them have unusually shaped flowers not at all resembling 'traditionally' shaped having pistils, anthers, corolla and calyx. Male and female flowers are separate but in discrete groups (cyathia) set in a cup shaped involucre (whorls of special leaves - bracts- subtending flower cluster).Euphorbia acanthothamnos is a common plant but endemic to east Mediterranean and limited to Greece, Aegean islands, Crete and west Anatolian in Turkey. It forms low, rounded, intricately branched, regularly forked and dense shrubs. Its flowers stand in umbels with usually three to four branches. Next year these branches become woody and spine-tipped and die. However, they remain permanent weaponry against hungry sheep and goats.Ref.:(1) I. Schnfelder, P.
