Euphorbia boissieri is a semisucculent shrub from southern Madagascar, grown in cultivation mainly by specialist collectors of euphorbias. It needs bright light, sharp drainage and little water, and the milky sap is a irritant.
Euphorbia boissieri is a species of plant in the family Euphorbiaceae. It is endemic to Madagascar. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. A political crisis in 2009 also plunged Madagascar wildlife into a desperate state. [1] It is named after botanist Pierre Edmond Boissier.
