description
The succulent Euphorbia capsaintemariensis forms flat shrubs. From a tuberous and branching root arise on the upper side very tightly standing shoots, which are up to 10 centimeters long. The flat and silvery shoots are cylindrical in shape and reach a diameter of 5 to 10 millimeters. They are covered with many leaf scars. The leaves are in rosettes at the shoot ends and are up to 25 millimeters long and 8 millimeters wide. They are thick and form a groove on the top. The almost sessile leaves have a wavy edge and are reddish green in color. The paper-like stipules are bristly and fall off.

The elliptical nectar glands are colored orange. The bluntly lobed fruit is about 5 millimeters in diameter and is almost sessile. The surface is tiny papilla .
Rooted shoots do not form new underground tuber.
