Ambovatoby Spurge (Euphorbia hexadenia)

This species was described in 1887, originally as Euphorbia daphnoides Baill., however, this name was already used for another species, so the species was redescribed in 1921.

The species was apparently restricted to the Ambavatoby Bay at the north coast of Madagascar.

Unfortunately I could not found any more information about this species.
