Description

The large, globose Euphorbia hamata ovary is losing the need for the stigma on top as it becomes a fruit. The stigma branches have started shrivelling, the style in different colours.

Six vertical segment lines are visible on the fruit from tip to base, indicating the borders of locules. White mottling is present on the shiny surface.

The three leaf-like bracts are colourfully festooned, in close attendance around the fruit base. Maybe there should be a famous story about The Three Bracts in Euphorbia lore.
