<strong>Euphorbia</strong> SEEd in habitat<br />

One of my favourite species of all, <strong>Euphorbia</strong> neospinescens Bruyns<br />

(formerly Monadenium spinescens (Pax) P.R.O.Bally) was collected in the<br />

Morogoro Region. It was particularly difficult to collect: not only are the<br />

stems heavily armed with spines, the leaf margins and midrib also bear<br />

sharp points!<br />

Finally, here is a shot of the typical orange soils and hills around<br />

Same. There are several <strong>Euphorbia</strong> heterochroma Pax scattered<br />

in the foreground. Same District was great for <strong>Euphorbia</strong>: we collected<br />

nine different species in just four hours!<br />
