There are over 2000 species of Euphorbias in the world. They range from annual weeds to trees.

A significant percentage is succulent, but they are mostly originating from Africa and Madagascar.

The Euphorbias are named after a Greek surgeon called Euphorbus. He was physician of Juba II who was the Romanised king of a North African kingdom, and is supposed to have used their milky latex as an ingredient for his potions.
