Euphorbia parvicyathophora

A little-known Madagascan Euphorbia. Its name refers to its small cyathia (flower clusters). There are only two scattered records and almost no habitat information, so these conditions follow small Madagascan succulent euphorbias in general: bright light, warmth, a gritty mix and a dry rest in the dry season.

Where it grows wild

Unknown in detail. It is assumed to grow on rocky or sandy ground in seasonally dry vegetation, like most small Madagascan succulent Euphorbia.

The two records come from about 100 m (south-west) and about 1200 m (central highlands). Neither is confirmed as a wild locality.
