Euphorbia aggregata variegata is a variegated variety of Euphorbia aggregata A.Berger : It is a dwarf dioecious succulent shrub, very spiny and free-branching that forms a low tufted cushion-like mass composed of hundreds of heads that grows up to 1 m in diameter, but very old large plants with up to 40.000 (or even more) heads has been reported. It is a very variable species and even in habitat not two plants are similar. They vary mostly in body colour, colour, number and length of the spines and colour and size of the nectar-gland. E. aggregata is closely related with Euphorbia ferox and Euphorbia pulvinata, which can be recognised by their striking growing-shape. Therefore its more likely that intermediate forms between the mentioned species will occur in habitat.
