About Euphorbia angusta Engelm.

Euphorbia angusta Engelm. is a leggy, erect, branching herb that grows up to 40 centimeters tall. It produces linear opposite leaves that grow from slightly swollen stem nodes. Both the stems and leaves are sparsely covered in white hairs. Small single white flowers grow near leaf nodes; these flowers are made up of small but showy involucral gland appendages that have toothed margins. Euphorbia angusta grows primarily on rocky limestone soils, found on the Edwards Plateau in Texas and in northern Mexico.
