Euphorbia caput-medusae ("Medusa's Head")
is a plant of the Euphorbia genus, that occurs in and around Cape Town, South Africa.
This succulent resembles the head of Medusa, with many serpent-like stems arising from a short, central caudex. It is still common around Cape Town where it grows in deep sand or rocky outcrops on the coast. They sometimes exceed 1 metre in diameter, partly buried in the ground, covered with numerous crowded branches.
