About Euphorbia pubentissima Michx.

Euphorbia pubentissima Michx. is a plant species in the spurge family, commonly known as the southeastern flowering spurge or false flowering spurge. It is native to the Southeastern United States, where it grows in sandy open woodlands. From spring through fall, it produces small flowers surrounded by white involucral gland appendages. This is a variable species with a complex taxonomic history. Past researchers included it within Euphorbia corollata, which has obscured the true boundaries of its geographic distribution.
