Description

The base of a sambokbos plant shows the multitude of its erect, cylindrical Euphorbia-like stems. They have been cropped here in southern Great Karoo veld where game, including kudu and livestock, goats and sheep do the browsing.

New growth has brought fresh stems in response already. The browsers distinguish between Euphorbia mauritanica and this palatable Senecio (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2010).
