Euphorbia rothiana, commonly known as Common Hill Spurge, is an evergreen or semi-deciduous shrub native to the montane forests and scrublands of South-Central China, the Indian Subcontinent, and Southeast Asia. It typically grows to a height and width of 4-8 feet (1.2-2.4 meters), featuring a dense, bushy form. The plant is characterized by its small, inconspicuous flowers surrounded by showy, yellowish bracts that appear throughout the year, with a peak flowering season in the warmer months. The foliage is dark green, and the stems contain a milky sap that is characteristic of the Euphorbia genus.

Common Hill Spurge is valued for its drought tolerance and low maintenance requirements, making it suitable for xeriscaping and as an ornamental shrub in dry gardens. It is also used for medicinal purposes in some cultures. In cultivation, it thrives in full sun and requires minimal water once established, preferring well-drained soils. It can be used as a hedge or a standalone specimen. Gardeners should handle this plant with care, as the sap can be irritating to the skin and toxic if ingested.CC BY-SA 4.0
