    Tips

    April 4, 2025

    The densely growing Euphorbia characias, with its bright yellow inflorescences and gray-green leaves, dominates the Mediterranean maquis of Sardinia. As an adaptation to summer drought, this spurge species has developed a white milky sap that, when damaged, oozes and contains toxic diterpenes. The complex inflorescences consist of seemingly simple flowers that are in fact specialized inflorescences (cyathia) with individual male and female flowers, surrounded by striking bracts. As an important component of Mediterranean sclerophyll vegetation, it contributes to biodiversity and provides food for specialized pollinators early in the year.
