Euphorbia tannensis var. eremophila is the more widespread variety of E. tannensis subsp. eremophila (desert spurge).
It grows as an erect shrub, usually up to a metre in height, but sometimes up to 1.5 metres, with green or yellow flowers. From a distance it may appear leafless. It is distinguished from the other variety, E. tannensis var. finlaysonii, by its ovate involucral glands.[1]
