Euphorbia lactea cristata, commonly known as the Crested African Milk Barrel or Coral Cactus, is a striking succulent that stands out with its unique, wavy, crest-like growth. This fascinating plant features undulating, fan-shaped lobes that emerge from a central stem, giving it a shape resembling coral or a brain-like structure.
The crested parts are typically a vibrant green to bluish-green, with ridges that can take on a slight reddish hue when exposed to bright sunlight. Unlike many cacti, Euphorbia lactea cristata lacks traditional spines: instead, it has small, wart-like structures that give the plant a distinctive texture.
