Italian

infiorescenze terminali, i tipici ciazi delle euphorbiaceae, con piccoli fiori, costituiti da un ovario verdastro e un involucro campanulato circondato da ghiandole nettarifere di colore giallo, che presentano alla base due brattee (foglie modificate) di colore rosso vivo, in netto contrasto con il colore delle foglie; le brattee hanno la funzione di attrarre l’attenzione dell’impollinatore, come i petali di un singolo fiore.
