euphorbia meloformis

Native to South Africa, it inhabits limestone rocky slopes. A slow-growing, polycarpic species featuring globose tubercles resembling small apples, hence its name. An anomaly within Euphorbia genus due to its smooth, spineless globular form. Globose tubercles 2-3 cm in diameter arranged in a tight spiral on short stems. Green-gray coloration with purplish hues during colder months. Spineless, smooth, slightly waxy surface.
