This member of the
Euphorbiaceae family was
given this name by Susan Carter in 1985. It is only found in
Tanzania, growing in a well
drained soil with some water and some to lots of sun. The caudex
can grow to four centimetres in diameter, the branches up to 20
centimetres.
The genera name; Euphorbia
dates back to the first century BC, where King Juba II of
Mauritania used it in a reference to his doctor, Euphorbos, and that
name was kept as a generic name by Carl von Linnaeus. The species
name is from Greek di; 'two', Latin; lobus; 'lobe' and
Greek aden; 'gland', for the bilobed glands. It was published in Kew Bulletin 40:
818. 1985, which I can't find. |
