Euphorbia flexuosa Kth. 



E. buxifolia flexuosa (Kth.) Boiss. Anyone seeing this species in the 

 field would at once recognize it as clearly distinct from E. buxifolia. 

 Its purplish coloration, cinereous glaucescence, rounded flat leaves 

 and spreading habit cause it to resemble E. Cayensis far more closely 

 than E. buxifolia. 



Leaves glauco-cinereous, ovate, rounded at the apex and unequal 

 base .3-1 cm. x .2-.6 cm. Involucres turbinate, short pediceled, smooth 

 without, densely bearded within, margin entire; glands 4, large, cordate, 

 nearly equalling the appendages; stamens 5, the filaments bearded 

 and tufted below ; seeds triangular, pink-ashen, farinose, the angles 

 rounded and prominent, the facets slightly anastomose-rugose trans- 

 versely. 



Maritime sands and sand-pocketed rocks. Not seen north of 

 the Exuma Chain.
