Euphorbia rubrostriata, synonym Euphorbia mainiana, is a species of plant in the family Euphorbiaceae. It is endemic to Madagascar. [3] Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry shrubland and rocky areas. It is threatened by habitat loss. [1]

Taxonomy

Euphorbia rubrostriata was first described by Emmanuel Drake del Castillo in 1903. [2] As of February 2023, there is some confusion over the synonymy of this species. Plants of the World Online (PoWO) accepted only one synonym, Euphorbia mainiana. [3] The African Plant Database also accepted this synonym, but in addition treated Euphorbia isaloensis as a synonym, [4] which PoWO regarded as a separate species. [5] Other sources, based on the now discontinued World Checklist of Selected Plant Families, regarded Euphorbia rubrostriata as a synonym of Euphorbia milii var. milii. [6]
