Euphorbia serrata is a species of spurge known by the common names serrated spurge and sawtooth spurge. It is native to Europe but it is present elsewhere as a weedy introduced species.[1][2] This is a perennial herb growing anywhere from 20 centimetres to about half a metre in height.[1] The leaves are long and very narrow on most of the plant, with more oval-shaped leaves toward the tips of the stems.[1][3] They are finely toothed.[1] At the ends of the branches are inflorescences of tiny flowers.[citation needed] The fruit is a spherical capsule about half a centimetre wide containing tiny gray seeds.[1]
