The Tales:
In the genus Euphorbia, the flowers are reduced in size and aggregated into a cluster of flowers called a cyathium (plural cyathia). This feature is present in every species of the genus Euphorbia but nowhere else in the plant kingdom.
The subspecies name and common name, robbiae, are a reference to the botanist Mary Ann Robb (1829-1912) who discovered this plant in a woodland area near Istanbul and brought parts of the plant back to her garden in Liphook, Hampshire in a hat box in 1891.
