'''''Euphorbia virosa''''' is a [[plant]] of the spurge family [[Euphorbiaceae]]. It has a short main stem, usually twisted, from which 5-10 cm branches emerge. These leafless branches have 5 to 8 edges. Paired thorns grow in regularly spaced intervals from the edges. <br />
<br />
''Euphorbia virosa'' is commonly distributed from the [[Orange River]] in [[South Africa]] to Southern [[Angola]], occupying mainly arid areas in [[Namibia]]. The plant contains within the branches a milky and creamy substance with [[cancer|carcinogenic]] properties. This substance is very [[poison]]ous and is used by [[Bushmen]] to dip the tips of their hunting arrows. Contact with it causes skin irritation, and if the eyes are afflicted, blindness may occur.<br />
