Euphorbia bourgaeana is a species of flowering plant in the spurge family Euphorbiaceae. It is native to Tenerife in the Canary Islands.[3]:208

Description

It can grow to a height of 6–10 feet (1.82-3.04 metres), but if potted, it can be kept relatively small. The plant grows well in USDA zones 9b-11.[citation needed]

Like many euphorbias, parts of the plants are poisonous if ingested.
