Euphorbia gorgonis A. Berger (1910)

is a small kind of circle E. caput-medusae. It belongs to a group of 3 (sort by Eggli 2003). It has almost all kaudex hidden beneath the earth, The stem is cylindrical and may be up to 10 cm wide. Short tapered twigs are naturally only about 3 cm long and consists of a flat spiral around the top of vegetation.

Cyathia are tiny yellow, but also need to crimson red to brown, the latter determines the color hues of nectaries. They are themselves in full bloom visible droplets of nectar strongly scented of honey, which is one of relatively important distinguishing feature. Fruits are spherical, sparse hair, and only 6 mm wide capsule. E. gorgonis grow in culture more slowly than E. caput-medusae or E. woodii and resisting ill-breeding errors, especially a combination of wet and cold. I got it, unfortunately, a bad experience, because I committed the mistake many times and unlike other euforbií gorgonisky she never survived. Once again I start again now, and planting seedlings and pipláním.
