Some people don't quite know what to make of euphorbias. Are they a cactus? a tree? a thistle? |
|||
|
Since euphorbias were described relatively late by western science, botanists just thought looked like everything else.
|
-ioides is a Latinate ending meaning "similar to." | ||
| Euphorbia pachypodioides | Dr. Euphorbos | Pachypodium-like | |
| Euphorbia neostapelioides | Dr. Euphorbos | New Stapelia-like | |
| Euphorbia dendroides | Dr. Euphorbos | Tree-like | |
| Euphorbia tithymaloides | Dr. Euphorbos | Tithymalus-like | |
| Euphorbia amygdaloides | Dr. Euphorbos | Amygdalus-like | |
| Euphorbia clavarioides | Dr. Euphorbos | Clavaria-like | |
| Euphorbia monadenioides | Dr. Euphorbos | Monadenium-like | |
| Euphorbia opuntioides | Dr. Euphorbos | Opuntia-like | |
| Euphorbia peperomioides | Dr. Euphorbos | Peperomia-like | |
| Euphorbia plumerioides | Dr. Euphorbos | Plumeria-like | |
| Euphorbia didieroides | Dr. Euphorbos | Didierea-like | |
|
These are just a few of the euphorbias that people think look like other things.
|
There are tons more. | Trust me. | |
