Euphorbia ampliphylla is a succulent rainforest tree of the montane rainforests throughout East Africa and belonging to the Spurge Family (Euphorbiaceae). The branches are succulent and three-winged and pachycaulous. Like most euphorbs, it has milky white sap . The toxicity of many euphorbs is well known, but no specific information is available concerning E. ampliphylla. It is used locally for medical purposes.[1] It is particularly noted for two things: It is the tallest of all known succulent plants, definitely up to 98 feet (30 meters) and indicated on a carefully scaled diagram as reaching 105 feet (32 meters). It is also the world's only known succulent rainforest tree. [2]
