Euphorbia donii 'Amjilassa'

Euphorbia donii 'Amjilassa'

Grown from seed collected by the Kew, Edinburgh, Kanchenjunga Expedition to northeastern Nepal in 1989, the cultivar name for this spurge is the same as the name of the Nepalese village from where it was nearby collected. This plant was then introduced into cultivation by Thompson & Morgan Seed Company via an agreement with RBG Kew. For background on the species name and cultivation information, see (subscriber access only) Sinnott, Mike (2004). Plate 484. Euphorbia donii 'Amjillasa' Euphorbiaceae. Curtis's Botanical Magazine 21 (1), 39-44.

Wayne Armstrong explains the inflorescence of this plant, known botanically as a cyathium.

Photography resource link: Photo.net's Photo of the Week Gallery. Always good for inspiration.
