Euphorbia capsaintmariensis is endemic to a wind swept locality in Madagascar, and has evolved a low, creeping habit to stay below the gusts.

A caudiform, great for bonsai. A miniature euphorbia coming from Cape Sainte Marie at the southern tip of Madagascar. Lots of silver grey branches from a basal caudex - reddish green leaves with undulate edges. Produces many yellowish brown cup shaped flowers. Keep on the dry side.
