Euphorbia balsamifera, also known as balsam spurge, is a flowering plant in the spurge family found in the Canary Islands and western Sahara. It can grow as a low shrub or small tree, with thick stems and green, glaucous leaves. The plant produces yellowish-green flowers and a green capsule fruit. It is commonly used in dentistry in Morocco and the leaves are consumed as a vegetable in the Canary Islands. This plant is regulated under Appendix II of CITES due to its succulent nature. There are two subspecies, but one is now considered a separate species. Euphorbia balsamifera is native to the Canary Islands, western Morocco, and Western Sahara, and can be found in rocky and sandy habitats up to 800 meters above sea level.
