Euphorbia larica

A leafless, many-stemmed shrub with grey-green pencil-thick stems and milky latex, one of the most common shrubs of the gravel plains, wadis and rocky slopes of northern Oman and the Hajar mountains. It wants blazing sun, intense heat, very little water and a fast-draining mineral mix.
