family

Hetterscheid in 2021. It is found in southern Madagascar, growing in a well drained soil
or grit with some water and some sun. The caudex might grow to
30 centimetres in diameter, the entire plant

The genera is named after
Euphorbos, the Greek physician of King Juba II of Numidia. This
species epithet is dedicated to Agathe Haevermans, scientific
illustrator at the Institut de Systématique, Evolution, Biodiversité,
Muséum national d’histoire naturelle, for her numerous scientific
illustrations of Madagascar plants and for her contribution to the
discovery of this species while doing fieldwork together with the first
