Overview/Description: Euphorbia obesa, known as the 'baseball plant,' is a succulent species adapted to arid conditions. This plant exhibits a nearly spherical shape, leading to its common name. Being dioecious, individual plants are distinctly male or female, a feature found in several species within the Euphorbiaceae family. If injured, the plant exudes a toxic white sap, a trait shared with other members of the genus Euphorbia, as a defense mechanism against herbivores.
