Euphorbia decaryi (Euphorbia)
Botanical name: Euphorbia decaryi
Common name: Euphorbia
Family: Euphorbiaceae
Origin: Southeastern Madagascar
Euphorbia decaryi is a small, perennial, leafy succulent with a shrub-like development and beautiful wavy, zig-zag edged leaves. It is a mat-forming species and spreads almost horizontally on the ground by means of rhizomes. The Euphorbia decaryi growth form illustrates the typical horizontal habit of most Madagascan euphorbias.
Evergreen or semi-deciduous, leaves tufted in rosettes at the stems tips, deep-red and green colored, narrow, very succulent, highly undulate, folded and crisp with raised veins and very attractive. Leaves in summer and under stress assume a nice coppery-bronze coloring. Flowers are very curious, hanging like small bells. Drought-tolerant; suitable for xeriscaping.
Euphorbia decaryi var. spirosticha is a rare cultivar from a private collection of Mark Hooten, hardly known in cultivation.
