Euphorbia alluaudii Specimen 43 / 220 import_2021_09_10_101756 Stems and branches first growWhile juvenile shrubs have many branches with bright green stem, this mature specimen has grown a thick woody base, with sparse stems branching only at the top. Cylindrical, spineless branches make up this succulent shrub. Euphorbia leucodendron (Euphorbia alluaudii) is endemic to Madagascar, and produces the tiniest of green leaves at the tips of its stems. These little leaves quickly fall off, and their stipules leave behind small brown scales.
