About

Euphorbia rosescens, commonly called scrub spurge or rosy-pink spurge, is a critically endangered perennial herb endemic to the southern Lake Wales Ridge in Highlands County, Florida.

Where it grows

It occurs in exposed, sandy soils in the fire-dependent habitats of the Florida scrub. It seems to prefer local depressions in deep, white sand scrubs where it may form associations with Florida rosemary and scrub-adapted oaks (including sand live oak, scrub oak, and Chapman's oak, among others).
