Description

This spiky milk forms small bushes, it is perennial and we will recognize it quickly because the dead leaves those at the base of the stems remain dry without falling to the ground and directed downwards. Live both in the mountains and in coastal areas and even on sandy substrates. In this case it can be confused with Euphorbia paralias but the character of the dry leaves that we have mentioned before allows us to differentiate them.
