Europaea
Ciocarlan (2000) published from Romania
(Enisala and Agighiol, Tulcea county) Euphorbia
fontqueriana Greuter under the name E. myrsinites
L. ssp. letardierei Font Quer et Garcias
Font, which seemingly is endemic to Balearic Islands from
the western Mediterranean Basin. You can see photographs of this
species from Mallorca here.
It is said that it differs from E. myrsinites L. in having red
glands (not
yellow
) and a capsule longer or at
least as long as wide with acute carenate valves (not the
length shorter than the width, with weakly carenate valves).
In this case, the photographs from Enisala to
the right represent E. fontqueriana but
they were unfortunately taken when the inflorescences
were completely dried.
