Abstract


Species of Euphorbia with a widespread distribution often show variability. In Somalia such variation is found in populations of E. cuneata Vahl and the complexes surrounding E. nubica N. E. Br., E. nigrispina Pax and E. xylacantha Pax. Possible undescribed taxa are also found in forms of more restricted species within Somalia, such as E. multiclava Bally& S. Carter and the more recently described E. umbonata S. Carter and E. atrox S. Carter.
