Euphorbia appariciana

A succulent Euphorbia endemic to northeastern Brazil, recorded mainly from the Chapada Diamantina uplands of Bahia at about 900 m. It needs hot sun, warm nights and a strict dry season. Very little is published on this species, so care is based on its measured climate and on other succulent Euphorbia from the same region.

Where it grows wild

The records cluster in the Chapada Diamantina of central Bahia, a mosaic of rocky campo rupestre and caatinga scrub. A succulent of open, rocky ground is likely, but this is inferred, not documented.

Recorded at 0–1,278 m (median 910 m), so mostly upland.
