Chamaesyce
''Chamaesyce'' is a genus of plants in the family Euphorbiaceae. Recent phylogenetic studies have shown that ''Chamaesyce'' is deeply nested within the broader ''Euphorbia''. Specifically, ''Chamaesyce'' is very closely related to plants like ''Euphorbia pulcherrima'', the popular poinsettia (this and related plants have also been given in their own genus, ''Poinsettia'', but are also well nested within ''Euphorbia''). Currently, all species have now been reclassified as species of ''Euphorbia''. Specifically, this group now belongs to ''Euphorbia'' subgenus ''Chamaesyce'' section ''Anisophyllum'' (which can be abbreviated ''Euphorbia'' sect. ''Anisophyllym''). Taxonomically speaking, ''Chamaesyce'' is considered a synonym of ''Euphorbia''. ''Euphorbia'' sect. ''Anisophyllum'' is a large group with about 365 species. ''Euphorbia'' sect. ''Anisophyllum'' differs from other ''Euphorbia'' species in a number of characteristics. Perhaps the most important is the presence of C4 photo ...

Chamaesyce Albomarginata 2
''Chamaesyce'' is a genus of plants in the family Euphorbiaceae. Recent Phylogenetics, phylogenetic studies have shown that ''Chamaesyce'' is deeply nested within the broader ''Euphorbia''. Specifically, ''Chamaesyce'' is very closely related to plants like ''Poinsettia, Euphorbia pulcherrima'', the popular poinsettia (this and related plants have also been given in their own genus, ''Poinsettia'', but are also well nested within ''Euphorbia'').

Euphorbia
''Euphorbia'' is a very large and diverse genus of flowering plants, commonly called spurge, in the family Euphorbiaceae. "Euphorbia" is sometimes used in ordinary English to collectively refer to all members of Euphorbiaceae (in deference to the type genus), not just to members of the genus. Euphorbias range from tiny annual plants to large and long-lived trees. The genus has roughly 2,000 members, making it one of the largest genera of flowering plants. It also has one of the largest ranges of chromosome counts, along with ''Rumex'' and ''Senecio''. ''Euphorbia antiquorum'' is the type species for the genus ''Euphorbia''. It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 in ''Species Plantarum''. Some euphorbias are widely available commercially, such as poinsettias at Christmas. Some are commonly cultivated as ornamentals, or collected and highly valued for the aesthetic appearance of their unique floral structures, such as the crown of thorns plant (''Euphorbia milii''). ...

Euphorbiaceae Genera
Euphorbiaceae, the spurge family, is a large family of flowering plants. In English, they are also commonly called euphorbias, which is also the name of a genus in the family. Most spurges, such as ''Euphorbia paralias'', are herbs, but some, especially in the tropics, are shrubs or trees, such as ''Hevea brasiliensis''. Some, such as ''Euphorbia canariensis'', are succulent and resemble cacti because of convergent evolution. This family has a cosmopolitan global distribution. The greatest diversity of species is in the tropics, however, the Euphorbiaceae also have many species in nontropical areas of all continents except Antarctica. Description The leaves are alternate, seldom opposite, with stipules. They are mainly simple, but where compound, are always palmate, never pinnate. Stipules may be reduced to hairs, glands, or spines, or in succulent species are sometimes absent. The plants can be monoecious or dioecious. The radially symmetrical flowers are unisexual, wit ...
