Taxonomy

Euphorbia is generic name that derives from the Greek physician of King Juba II of Mauritania (52 to 50 BC - 23 ), Euphorbus, in his honor - or in allusion to his large belly - since he used Euphorbia resinifera medically. In 1753 Carl Linnaeus assigned the name to the entire genus.
alsiniflora is a Latin epithet that means "with the flowers of Alsine ".[6]
