Euphorbia ankarensis Crassulaceae largely because the leaves comeEuphorbia ankarensis Family: Euphorbiaceae. A rarely seen species from Madagascar. This is part of the same group of leafy succulent Euphorbias as E. neohumberii, E. vigueri, & E. milotii (which it most closely resembles). The leaves are green, sometimes with red highlights. The leaves are sometimes hairy beneath. The stems are thornless. Over time the stem will get taller and taller and will branch from the base and occasionally from the stems
