This species, from Tanzania, is one of the most beautiful of the Euphorbias from tropical East Africa. It has square stems that are brilliantly marked in rich blue-green and pale-gray colors. The spines are reddish, and the cyathia have red stamens. The overall effect is an extremely beautiful container plant. These plants are a little more colorful and a little larger than the typical species. We offer rooted cuttings of this species in 5-inch pots.
