Euphorbia glomerifera  

Euphorbia glomerifera (Millsp.) L.C. Wheeler (syn.: Chamaesyce glomerifera Millsp.) (Am.) – An exceptional and ephemeral alien. Recorded only once as a weed in a container with Phoenix canariensis in 1998 in Hooglede.

The rank of this species is debated. Some authors tend to accept it as a mere glabrous form of Euphorbia hypericifolia L. (Burch 1966, Oudejans 1990; see also Hügin 1998a).
