Description

Like a pair of pineapples not warranting a bra, the Euphorbia clandestina stem branches sport their upper stem leaves, even cyathia and fruit in the afternoon sun of the Little Karoo. A third branch protrudes at the back like a tail.

Dark, crumpled remains of an earlier flowering and fruiting event sit upon the upper cliffs of some stem tubercles. This is where a ring-band of cyathia had been present when the main stem-tip was still close to this point and no branches had grown yet (Smith, et al, 2017; Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; iNaturalist).
