SEASIDE SPURGE
No. 7 During August the tiny oval leaves
of the Seaside Spurge start to push up
through the hot sands of the ocean beach.
Several days later the beach will be sp-
rinkled with these charming plants resembl-
ing miniature Christmas wreaths.
The stems are red and the berries green,
the little plant lying flat on the sand,
and anchored in place by a long central
stem.
When pricked, it exudes a milky juice,
typical of the Spurge family.
