Euphorbia tortirama is a succulent euphorbia that comes from northwestern South Africa.
Plants grown from branch cuttings grow, but seldom develop the large fleshy root.
Euphorbia tortirama is endemic to Limpopo, the northwestern province of South Africa. Though widespread, its populations are scattered and not large, with concerns being expressed about the large numbers being collected for sale by the 1980s.
