おもしろい事実

Its tiny 'flowers' are special cups, called cyathia, holding many even tinier male and female flowers!

Sea Spurge seeds can float on ocean currents, helping them spread to new beaches far away.

The milky sap, called latex, was historically used in some cultures to remove warts!

This tough plant can grow even when partially buried by sand, reaching upwards for sunlight.
