Only buds
during the first winter.
When the
flowers opens - they are not much bigger.
The roots
are fare from using the pots.
As most of
the Euphorbias, the sap is white.

This member of the Euphorbiaceae
family was described by Peter René Oscar Bally from a cultivated
specimen. The area of origin; Ruaha Valley; Malolo in the Kilosa District of Tanzania, was only found in
1990. It is little more than a square kilometre and is now turned
into grassing land. It is limestone, and it receives quite some
water and sun. The
plant is under real pressure in the wild, and will probably be
extinct within a few years. |
