Euphorbia piscatoria
Euphorbia piscatoria is a shrubby, semisucculent spurge endemic to Madeira, grown in warm, dry, bright conditions and kept on a lean, fast-draining soil. Like other succulent euphorbias it contains irritating milky sap, so handle it with care.
Euphorbia piscatoria, the fish-stunning spurge, is a species of flowering plant in the spurge family Euphorbiaceae. It is endemic to the Madeira archipelago. This species is a shrubby succulent. As most other succulent members of the genus Euphorbia, its trade is regulated under Appendix II of CITES.
