{"product_id":"euphorbia-columnaris","title":"Euphorbia columnaris","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the more distinctive of the many unique Somalian Euphorbia, Euphorbia columnaris is a local endemic to the gypsum mountains surrounding the city of Las Anod, a habitat also well known as the only location for Dorstenia gypsophila. Despite being the capital of the region, the surrounding areas are at risk of destruction due to drought and grazing, and are poorly explored due to ongoing armed conflict and extreme poverty in the area. Because it grows so slowly, this species is often mistaken for a small-growing globular plant. As the name “columnaris” suggests, it actually can grow to a few feet, making a slender, often single-stemmed column that emerges out of the pure gypsum cliff sides. Unfortunately, few images exist on the internet, but they can be found in scientific journals if searching academic databases is accessible. This species has a reputation for being temperamental, but we find it prefers to stay in a soil-free mix and be protected from cold, wet conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rare Plant Catalog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52136547156248,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0912\/1175\/9896\/files\/euphorbiacolumnaris.png?v=1780531352","url":"https:\/\/rareplantcatalog.com\/products\/euphorbia-columnaris","provider":"Rare Plant Catalog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
