Euphorbia godana

A succulent Euphorbia known only from Djibouti, where it grows on hot, dry rocky ground with a short, erratic rainy season. Little has been published on it in cultivation, so treat it like other Horn of Africa succulent euphorbias: very bright light, warmth, and a gritty mix that dries fast.

Where it grows wild

No wild GBIF records exist, so habitat is inferred from the single Djibouti climate site and the genus: open, rocky, semi-desert slopes with scattered shrubs.

The climate site sits at about 1,100 m in the Djibouti uplands; actual elevation of wild populations is undocumented.
