Euphorbia helioscopia (Euphorbiaceae) 3:632

Euphorbia helioscopia (Sun Spurge) is a common weed found especially in cultivated ground. It is a soft plant with small stem leaves. It tends to be slightly larger than the more common Petty Spurge, E. peplus, and has a distinctive whorl of leaves below the flowers. Also the bracts around the tiny flowers do not have horns.
