Euphorbia xanti, known as Baja spurge, is a species of flowering plant in the spurge family Euphorbiaceae. It is native to Mexico, occurring in Baja California, Sonora, and Sinaloa.[2] This species is a shrubby succulent, valued in gardening for drought tolerance and its abundant fragrant cyathia with colourful bracts.[3] As most other succulent members of the genus Euphorbia, its trade is regulated under Appendix II of CITES.[4]
