The cyathium of #Euphorbiaceae is a kind of pseudanthium in which a “flower” is recreated by bracts acting like petals, staminate flowers acting like stamens, and carpellate flowers acting like the gynoecium (pistil). It is a marvel of evolution! #pseudanthia 📷: Euphorbia geroldii #botany 🌾🧪🌱

"The spurge family, or Euphorbiaceae, includes economically valuable plants like the rubber tree, castor oil plant, poinsettia and cassava. Newly identified fossils found in Argentina suggest that a group of spurges took a trip of their own tens of millions of years ago".
