Euphorbia antso

A Euphorbia endemic to southwestern Madagascar, in the dry spiny thicket and shrubland around Toliara. It needs heat, strong light, a wet summer and a dry winter. Little is published on its habit or care, so conditions are built from the range data and similar Malagasy dry-thicket euphorbias.
