Euphorbia turbiniformis is a dwarf, spineless, globose succulent with beautiful tessellated
markings.
Stem: Spherical or turbiniform with a short obconic caudex about 4 cm tall x 4-6(-8) cm in diameter, it grows almost buried in the soil and has lost all its spines. The apex is depressed and the epidermis is smooth, shining. The surface is sticky and in habitat it is often covered by a thin layer of soil. Usually it has a single growing point, but in cultivation the plant can branch dichotomously forming two to several apexes.
