We were shown this spurge on a WFS trip in Monmouth where it is native. I had thought it was something like Wood Spurge (E amygdaloides) but it is quite different. The plant itself is quite tall - about 1 m, but many branches with small leaves and even smaller flowers. The capsules, typical of the spurges, are covered in warty protuberances which make for an easy way of identifying this rare plant.
