Euphorbia bupleurifolia, commonly known as cycad spurge or pine cone plant, is a species of plant in the family Euphorbiaceae.[1]

It is native to southern Africa.[2] It is found in the South African regions of Cape Provinces and KwaZulu-Natal.[1]

The Latin specific epithet of bupleurifolia refers to means ‘with leaves like those of the genus Bupleurum’, a large genus in the Apiaceae (carrot family), commonly called Hare's Ear. The genus name Bupleurum is also an ancient Greek word for ‘umbelliferous plant’.[2] It was first described and published in Pl. Hort. Schoenbr. Vol.1 on page 55 in 1797.[1]
