Euphorbia myrsinites is a low-growing, drought-tolerant perennial known for its unique and striking appearance.

The leaves are fleshy, like those of a succulent, and glaucous-blue to grayish-green leaves that are arranged in a spiral along its stems.

The stems grow from a single point, octopusing outwords and creating an exceptionally graphic silhouette.

The flowers are typically yellow-green, and the bracts surrounding them can have a reddish hue, which adds to the plant's visual appeal.
