Euphorbia bracteata

Euphorbia bracteata, the tall slipper plant, emerald bird cactus or little bird flower, is a perennial succulent spurge native to Mexico. It was formerly placed in the genus Pedilanthus, the slipper spurges, and was known as Pedilanthus bracteatus.

The plant is a semi-succulent shrub that grows primarily in desert and dry shrubland in northern, central and southwestern Mexico. It is recognizable for its reddish bracts surrounding green or yellow flowers.
