Euphorbia plants are commonly known as spurges, and they are found throughout the world, with the greatest diversity in warm and tropical regions.

The genus Euphorbia contains over 2,000 known species, making it one of the largest genera of flowering plants. The plants vary greatly in their appearance, from small annual herbs to large, tree-like succulents. Euphorbia plants are characterized by their milky sap, which is often toxic and can cause skin irritation in some people. This sap is a defence mechanism against herbivores. Euphorbia plants serve important ecological roles, providing food and shelter for various insects, birds, and other animals. Some species are also used in traditional medicine or as ornamental plants.
