This species, collected on the Arabian Peninsula by John Lavranos, is clearly related to Euphorbia fruiticosa, but our plants are dwarfs compared to the typical multiple-stemmed variety of E. fruiticosa. This new species was described in 2005 and is equivalent to what we previously listed as Euphorbia fruiticosa "McCoyii" and E. aff. fruticosa. These plants are rooted offsets in 2-inch pots.
