Common Name: Club Euphorbia There are over 2000 species of Euphorbias in the world. They range from annual weeds to trees. They all have latex and a unique flower structure. 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. Euphorbia clava is endemic to the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. Euphorbia clava is a succulent shrublet that grows from 60cm to 150cm tall. It is characteristically club-shaped when young. The stem is cylindrical, deep green, erect, simple and ribbed, with hexagonal tubercles to 6 mm long and 1-1.5 cm wide at the base. It is a spineless plant with bright green to glaucous green, linear leaves. The abundant flowers, which are produced from late winter to spring, are very attractive with light-green to purplish bracts.
