Subspecies, varieties, forms and cultivars of plants belonging to the Euphorbia meloformis group

  • Euphorbia meloformis f. cristata hort.: Strong green and purple banded crested plant with intricately undulating fan-shaped branches.
  • Euphorbia meloformis f. falsa (N.E.Br.) G.Marx
  • Euphorbia meloformis f. magna R.A.Dyer ex G.Marx
