Euphorbia stygiana Short form

The true Azorean species with impressive rosettes of thick, leathery, rich green foliage at the ends of low, serpentine, green stems. Yellowy-brown clusters of slightly honey-scented flowers are seen in May/June. A few specialist nurseries incorrectly sell the hybrid E. x pasteurii under this name, though the two aren't that similar. Hardier than E. mellifera.
