Euphorbia santamariae

An extremely endangered rarity, limited to about 50 individuals in the wild on one Azorean island. This wants to be a small tree, as it is in the wild, with strong apical dominance in youth and vigorous growth though has managed medium to large shrub size so far in the UK due to less than perfect conditions. Previously considered a subsp. of E. stygiana, the foliage is less leathery with a faint bluish bloom. Rounded terminal heads of dark red-brown and soft-yellow honey scented flowers in spring. Liable to hybridisation in cultivation, these are 100% pure.
