Euphorbia waringiae

A rarely documented succulent euphorbia from southern Madagascar, known here from a single wild record inland of Tolagnaro (Fort Dauphin). Care follows the related small Malagasy succulent euphorbias: bright light, warm temperatures, a gritty mix and a drier, cooler rest in winter.

Where it grows wild

No species-level habitat notes were found. The recorded site lies in the transition between humid southeastern forest and the dry south, where small succulent euphorbias typically grow among rocks or in open scrub.

The single record sits at about 440 m.
