About
Euphorbia royleana is a species of flowering plant in the family Euphorbiaceae. It is also known as Sullu spurge, and Royle's spurge. It is a succulent and almost cactus-like in appearance, although unrelated. It grows right across the Himalaya mountains from Pakistan, India, Bhutan, Myanmar, Nepal to western China. It prefers dry and rocky slopes between 1000–1500 m altitude, but has been found up to 2000 m. Flowering and fruiting is in spring to early summer and seeding is in June to October. It is used as a hedging plant in northern India and has medicinal uses. It is an outlier of an assembly of succulent tree spurges which are otherwise confined to South Africa, East Africa and Madagascar with another outlier in the caatinga of Brazil.
