Euphorbia verruculosa

A dwarf succulent Euphorbia from the fog-swept coastal desert around Lüderitz in south-western Namibia. It lives on rock with almost no rain but plenty of moist sea air, so it wants full sun, mild temperatures and very sparing watering.

Where it grows wild

Grows on rocky ground in the coastal Namib desert, where fog from the cold Benguela current provides much of the moisture. Plants sit in open, sun-exposed rocky places.

Most records are near sea level around Lüderitz; one outlying record lies inland at about 1,600 m and may be a misplaced point.
