{"product_id":"euphorbia-prona","title":"Euphorbia prona","description":"\u003cp\u003eEuphorbia prona is a spiny Euphorbia with an extended history of taxonomical troubles, being identified, introduced, and then quickly lost in cultivation, and subsequently distributed in cultivation recently under a misidentified name. What was offered for a long time as Euphorbia sp. Cape Guadafi was identified as Euphorbia prona by Kew botanist Susan Carter, who described the species and is potentially the most noteworthy living Euphorbia expert. However, the fact that this ID was made based on cultivated material and the 65 km proximity of Cape Guadafi to the type locality of E. prona in Bargal has led to disagreement. This identification has been openly disputed in Euphorbia Journal, of which S. Carter is an editor, so many continue to offer it as sp. Cape Guadafi, but we agree with the E. prona identification based on the explanation given and superficial similarities observed in published photos of the respective populations. Both plants are limestone endemics and very slow-growing, even in cultivation, where mature plants remain single-branched.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rare Plant Catalog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52136546009368,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0912\/1175\/9896\/files\/euphorbiaprona.png?v=1780531386","url":"https:\/\/rareplantcatalog.com\/products\/euphorbia-prona","provider":"Rare Plant Catalog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
