Euphorbia anachoreta is a species of flowering plant in the family Euphorbiaceae, endemic to the Fora Islet of the Savage Islands. [1] This species has been considered a Critically Endangered species due to its highly restricted population size. [1] As most other succulent members of the genus Euphorbia, its trade is regulated under Appendix II of CITES. [4]

In the wild, it grows in the crags of basaltic rocks, where it is sheltered from salty winds. [5]
