Rough-Fruited Spurge

Description. The leaves stand irregularly; and are broad, short, sharp-pointed, smooth, of a pale green, and somewhat serrated at the edges. The flowers stand in small tufts or umbels at the top of the plant: and they are little, and of a yellowish green. The seed-vessel is roundish, large, and rough; it is more conspicuous in this than in most of the other kinds, and has been compared to a wart, the seeds are so large.
