Euphorbia suppressa




     From the Western Cape Province of South Africa, Euphorbia suppressa is a knobby spherical succulent about the size of a baseball. That's about all I could find out about it, I'm guessing at the max size from a picture of what looked like a very old one in the wild. It is interestingly colored and textured and looks just like a Medusa head Euphorbia with stunted tentacles.
     I got this one at Arid Lands and it was doing great untill the Thrashers got to it. Luckily I got pictures beforehand. The plant should survive.
