Euphorbia regis-jubae

A shrubby, branching, succulent-stemmed spurge of the dry Atlantic coastal scrub of southwestern Morocco, Western Sahara and the eastern Canary Islands. It grows and leafs out in the mild, slightly wetter winter and drops its leaves in the summer drought, so it needs a dry summer rest.
