Triangular spurge is a succulent, cactus-like shrub of the spurge family with three-angled, spiny green stems and an irritant milky latex. It is widespread across peninsular India and is the type species of the genus Euphorbia.
In Ayurveda it is known as Vajrakantaka. The latex and stem have traditionally been used in external preparations for joint comfort, and the juice was used in old wall plaster. It is protected and restricted in trade and is not offered.
