The family Euphorbiaceae is the fifth-largest flowering plant family [8] and has about 7,500 species [9] organised into 300 genera, [8] 37 tribes, and three subfamilies: Acalyphoideae, [8] Crotonoideae and Euphorbioideae. [10]
Euphorbia as a small tree: Euphorbia dendroides. Euphorbia is a large and diverse genus of flowering plants, commonly called spurge, in the family Euphorbiaceae.. Euphorbias range from tiny annual plants to large and long-lived trees, [2] with perhaps the tallest being Euphorbia ampliphylla at 30 m (98 ft) or more.
Here is a full taxonomy of the family Euphorbiaceae, according to the most recent molecular research. [1] This complex family previously comprised five subfamilies: [1] the Acalyphoideae, the Crotonoideae, the Euphorbioideae, the Phyllanthoideae and the Oldfieldioideae. The first three are uni-ovulate families, and the last two are bi-ovulate.
This is an alphabetical list of the Euphorbia species and notable infraspecific taxa. The list includes the former (and never generally accepted) genus Chamaesyce , as well as the related genera Elaeophorbia , Endadenium , Monadenium , Synadenium and Pedilanthus which according to recent DNA sequence -based phylogenetic studies are all nested ...

Euphorbieae is a tribe of flowering plants of the family Euphorbiaceae. [1] It comprises 3 subtribes and 5 genera. [2] The 3 sub tribes are: Euphorbiinae, Neoguillauminiinae and Anthosteminae. The 5 genus general are: Argythamnia, Caperonia, Chiropetalum, Ditaxis and Chiropetalum.
The sizes of plant genera vary widely from those containing a single species to genera containing thousands of species, and this disparity became clear early in the history of plant classification. The largest genus in Carl Linnaeus ' seminal Species Plantarum was Euphorbia , with 56 species; Linnaeus believed that no genus should contain more ...
