'''''Euphorbia resinifera''''' ('''Resin spurge''') is a species of [[Euphorbia|spurge]] native to [[Morocco]], where it occurs on the slopes of the [[Atlas Mountains]].<ref name="rhs">Huxley, A, ed. (1992). ''New RHS Dictionary of Gardening''. ISBN 0-333-47494-5</ref>

It is a [[shrub]] growing to 60 cm tall, forming multi-stemmed cushion-shaped clumps up to 2 m wide.

It is similar to its relative ''[[Euphorbia echinus]]'', which occurs on the [[Morocco|Moroccan]] coast and the [[Canary Island]]s.

It contains a high concentration of [[resiniferatoxin]] and is being used to develop a novel and powerful class of [[analgesic]]s.<ref>Appendino, G. & Szallasi, A.
