{"product_id":"euphorbia-herrei","title":"Euphorbia herrei","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis miniature South African Euphorbia somehow escaped cultivation for a long time, and it’s difficult to understand why, being as charming as it is. Euphorbia herrei is one of the rarest species in the wild, where it’s known from a single square kilometer in South Africa on the Namibian border, and a few smaller subpopulations in Namibian mining towns. It grows in small segmented sections, uniformly ovular and stacked upon each other like a snowman. With age, specimens become a small succulent shrub-like cluster never taller than a few inches. There are no other Euphorbia that look quite like this species, especially within its subgenus Articulofruticosae, where genetic studies have placed it alongside long-stemmed large shrubs like Euphorbia spinea and Euphorbia ephedroides. We find this species to be opportunistic like most other plants from the same ecosystem that borders on the winter-rainfall Namaqualand region in South Africa and Namibia’s more drought-affected summer-rainfall deserts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rare Plant Catalog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52136550891800,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0912\/1175\/9896\/files\/euphorbiaherrei.png?v=1780531386","url":"https:\/\/rareplantcatalog.com\/products\/euphorbia-herrei","provider":"Rare Plant Catalog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
