Field Notes

Description:

It is a bushy evergreen perennial, growing to a height of 80 cm, with dark green slightly hairy leaves about 6 cm long. The complex green-yellow inflorescence (cyathium), typical of Euphorbia, appears in late spring and early summer.

Habitat:

It is native to woodland locations in Europe, Turkey and the Caucasus. It is among the few plants that thrive in the dry shade of trees, where it is used as groundcover.

Notes:

The milky latex of the plant is toxic and can cause irritation on contact with the skin.
