Euphorbia spinosa Spiny Spurge
Although the name translates as Spiny Spurge, there are others like Euphorbia erinacea and Euphorbia acanthothamnos (Greek Spiny Spurge) with similar English names. The spines are actually soft and this plant grows in beautiful rounded cushions on these orchid rich hillsides.
