Description
Euphorbia burmanii in cultivation

The stems of this medium-sized (30-70cm tall), densely-branched shrub are thin, segmented, dichotomous, and erect or spreading.

Each node, along the segmented branches, is marked with a pair of large, dark, reddish stipular glands.

It produces large numbers of small, bright yellow flowers.

This species is part of a group of closely related "stick euphorbias" including Euphorbia rhombifolia and Euphorbia tenax, which are widespread across southern Africa.

In habitat it also often grows together with the more distantly related species Euphorbia mauritanica.[2][3]

gollark: It's parser combinator based. I would have to somehow rewrite the grammar to get around it.
gollark: That would preclude adding extra syntax for, well, dice.
gollark: I thought about that, but people would complain and I've already overused RPN calculators a bit as website content.
gollark: ÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆA left recursionI'm trying to implement an arithmetic parser thing with parser combinators for my dice rolling thing (long story) and it just... recurses infinitely.
gollark: I duckduckgoed it, and apparently you may want to reseat it.
