8-12CMEuphorbia zoutpansbergensis

Native to South Africa’s Zoutpansberg Mountains, this exceptional euphorbia features a striking, contorted growth habit: its stems grow in irregular, twisted patterns, often branching from the base to form a dense clump. Mature specimens reach 20-40cm tall and 30-50cm wide, with individual stems measuring 3-5cm in diameter. Its most distinctive trait is the pale gray-green to ghostly blue-green epidermis, paired with prominent, cone-shaped knobby protrusions (tubercles) along the stem edges. These tubercles are spaced evenly, creating a "horn-like" texture that gives the plant its "鬼角麒麟" (Ghost Horn) name, while the twisted stems add a dynamic, sculptural appeal.
