Origin of Name
Euphorbia prona 'S Carter' is named in honor of the botanist who identified and contributed significantly to its study, indicated by the 'S Carter' suffix. The genus 'Euphorbia' is named after Euphorbus, a Greek physician of King Juba II of Numidia, who reportedly used a similar plant for medicinal purposes. 'Prona' refers to a specific characteristic of the plant, although the exact meaning may vary based on the botanist's interpretation.

Technical Description of Plant
Euphorbia prona 'S Carter' is a succulent species known for its striking, columnar growth habit. This plant typically develops upright, cylindrical stems that are green to blue-green, with pronounced vertical ridges. Along these ridges, small spines emerge from regularly spaced nodes, giving the plant a ribbed appearance. Euphorbia prona 'S Carter' may produce small, inconspicuous flowers, typical of many Euphorbias, though the primary interest lies in its sculptural form and foliage.
