Euphorbia mosaica

Succulent with a very peculiar appearance, reaching maturity it is characterized by a massive woody caudex of a few centimeters, roundish and covered by a wrinkled and veined bark, from which develops a short and robust lignified stem on which grows a pleasant cushion consisting of several small opaque green heads. Each body, of roundish shape, has longitudinal ribs strongly tuberculate and adorned by whitish scars of old fallen leaves. Overall, the stems grow tightly together: seen from above, the plant really seems, as the name of the species implies, a wonderful mosaic composed of many small pieces agglomerated together!
