It lacks spines and is generally considered to be the least cactus-like of the tree spurges.  It typically develops a heavy trunk with thick primary branches which are woody and brown. New branchlets are green with a short cylindrical shape having a pencil-like thickness, often forming clusters at the branch ends. Tiny leaves (to 1” long) are oblanceolate.
     
    Genus name probably honors Euphorbus, physician to the King of Mauretania.

    Specific epithet comes from the Indian-Malayalam names of tiru meaning good and kalli meaning medicinal plant qualities.
