Euphorbia pubentissima |
Euphorbia pubentissima, commonly called the southeastern flowering spurge[1] or false flowering spurge,[2] is a species of plant in the spurge family. It is native to the Southeastern United States where it is found in areas of sandy, open woodlands.[1] It produces small flowers surrounded by white involucral gland appendages from spring to fall.[3]
Euphorbia pubentissima is a variable species with a complex taxonomic history. It has been included in Euphorbia corollata by past researchers, which has obscured the true limits of its geographic distribution.[3]
