Euphorbia bongolavensis

The name of the species refers to Bongolava, the only area of Madagascar where the exemplar is found. It is a wonderful shrub that does not exceed one meter in height, showing a rather thin and wrinkled woody stem, adorned with foliar scars and a slight bark that flakes easily. At the apex of the stem emerges a graceful cluster of elongated and lanceolate leaves of a characteristic deep bluish green along the upper surface, which contrasts pleasantly with the bright red and peculiar of the lower surface. The cluster of foliage assumes an open umbrella-like arrangement, which makes this specimen easily recognizable and highly ornamental, perfect to bring to your locations an unmistakable and original touch!
