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 🌾🧪🌱

Among the common roadside plants in our region near the Amazon coast is Mabea angustifolia Spruce ex Benth. It is usually a shrub that readily sprouts from underground organs after cutting or burning and may quickly develop into a small tree. Most of the year it produces inflorescences with both female and male flowers, as is typical for the Euphorbiaceae family. Its schizocarp fruits open explosively with an audible "crack" sound.

"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".

Spurge purge: Plant fossils reveal ancient South America-to-Asia ‘escape route’

Newly identified plant fossils found in Argentina suggest that a group of spurges long thought to have Asian origins may have first appeared in Gondwanan South America.

Contrary to how many of us perceive it, the chartreuse bits of Euphorbia here are bracts, not petals. Magnification shows the flowers are much smaller, here colored brown-burgundy.
