Euphorbia horrida, also known as the African milk barrel, is a flowering plant found in South Africa. Despite being part of the Euphorbiaceae family, it resembles cacti from the New World, showcasing convergent evolution. It can grow up to 1.5 meters and has blue-green, spiny stems with solitary green flowers in the summer. In colder regions, it needs to be grown in heated conditions under glass. This plant produces new shoots at the base, which can form roots and be used for propagation. Its Latin name, horrida, refers to its many prickles. Euphorbia horrida has been recognized by the Royal Horticultural Society and has received the Award of Garden Merit.
