description_en: Genus of about 14 species of variable, bushy, succulent shrubs and small trees occurring mainly in low, rocky terrain in Mexico, Central and South America, the West Indies, and Florida, USA. Many species branch from the roots to form clumps. The fleshy, narrow to broadly ovate, light to mid-green, sometimes white-mottled leaves are usually quickly deciduous. Terminal or axillary cymes of flower-like, tubular bract-cups are produced during the day in summer. Where temperatures drop below 10°C (50°F), grow as houseplants or in a warm greenhouse. In warmer climates, use in a desert garden or shrub border. The stems and leaves contain a milky sap that may cause stomach upset if ingested.
