This member of the Euphorbiaceae
family was first described by Hooker in 1848. It's found in central America.
Prefers good peat, some water and not to much sun. The caudex will grow
up to 20 centimetres in diameter, the stems to 1,5 meter. The flowers
are red, the male flower starts, but it can self-pollinate. Apparently,
it's not possible to make cuttings form a caudex.
