This member of the Euphorbiaceae
family
was given this name by Alain Campbell White, Robert Allen Dyer and Boyd Lincoln
Sloane in 1941. It is found in the quarts fields between Ladismith and
Barrydale in south-eastern South Africa, growing in a well drained soil with
some water and lots of sun. The caudex can grow to 16 centimetres in diameter, the entire plant
to 25 centimetres in height - and additional the raised caudex. The flowers are
yellow.
The genera is named after
Euphorbos, the Greek physician of King Juba II of Numidia. The
species is named from Latin; fortuita; 'accidental', as
it was discovered by chance. |
