Euphorbia hararensis

A spiny succulent Euphorbia known only from eastern Ethiopia around the Harar highlands. Little is published on it; treat it like other East African highland succulent euphorbias: strong sun, warm days, cool nights and a dry season with little water.

Where it grows wild

Known from the eastern Ethiopian highlands; by analogy with related spiny euphorbias it grows on open, rocky, well-drained slopes in dry bushland.

The single climate site sits at about 1,400 m; the Harar plateau region spans roughly 1,200–2,000 m.
