Did you already know?
The botanical name Euphorbia is derived from Euphorbos, a Greek physician from the 1st century AD. Euphorbia dates back to the 18th century. In 1753, the botanist and taxonomist Carl Linnaeus named the entire genus Euphorbia in honour of this physician.
And yes, that's right, euphorbias are not cacti, even though many of them look quite similar to cacti.
