Euphorbia (Chamaesyce) ammannioides

Spruges in the mornin', spurges in the evenin' spruges fer supper time
Be my little spurges, I'll love ye all the time.

Well aint we cheerful today Crumby. Reckon why that might be?

Ah, ha! It's me bosom companion, Ray, Baby, Ray, arrived fer honest work. Tote that barge, lift that bail, get a little drunk and ye land in jail. Aint that right Ray?

Whutever.

As a matter of fact, and as my bosom companion, who thinks along very much the same lines that I, Crumby think along, we both know why ye are arrived at this crucial juncture instead of bein' out a skippin' through the meadow with Hope.

Whutever. Snuffle.

And Ray, ye know I like to hear ye snuffle. Snufflin' shows that ye have character. I appreciate character in a bosom companion.

All righty then, Crumby. That's it. I be endurin' all I be goin' to endure. Whut's fer work?

Nothin' out of the unusual. First, we have the spurge du jour. But then there's some seriously onerous stuff that I have been avoidin' fer lack of enthusiasm. Perhaps if we engage the onerous together we can make a game of it, and thereby it shall be less onerous, fer me. And while we are makin a game of it, the twain of us can also reflect upon the dangers of overloadin' yerself with yer mouth.

Whutever.

All righty then. Let's get to spurgin' at suppertime.
Here's one that is generally found coastally in Tejas. It reminds me much of the previous entry, E.maculata, but has entire (no toofers), rather than toofer edged leaves.
Them leaves must gum their oatmeal like old Bagdgemagus then, right Crumby?

That's correct-0-rama-bait Ray. This particular toothless wonder was encountered just last summer in Matagorda County and we have no other specimens of it, fer a wonder, unless we have it under some other name, which is a dire or semi-dire possibility. There's two pictures yer fixin' to load. The first uns the flowers and such includin' some of the little petaloid appendages facin' right at the camera and the second one's a flock of seeds. I'm wonderin if that big seed in the middle may be a ringer.
