In the area of the new De Hoop Dam Euphorbia schinzii does not normally grow as big as in some other areas under more favourable conditions. The plant also occurs in Botswana, Limpopo and Mpumalanga. Dense clusters of tiny yellow flowers adorn the tips of the clump of thin square stems in season.

(E. schinzii information is also given in the Plant Records and Euphorbia Album under Genera.)
