Someone should make a list of all the plants that were supposed to cure syphilis. Just in North America you have sassafras, candelilla (euphorbia antisyphilitica), and blue cardinal flower (lobelia siphilitica)

@Zer0Doxy Euphorbia antisyphilitica is my best guess

I'm sure Joseph Gerhard Zuccarini meant well when he named candelilla/wax plant "Euphorbia antisyphilitica", but Euphorbia cerifera is a much better name. Another excellent synonym is Euphorbia occulta.

I don't think it actually cures syphilis, but with a name like that it really should. #euphorbiaantisyphilitica

This #euphorbia has perhaps the best species name of all: #antisyphilitica - read more about this fascinating genus in Jason Isenberg's column in the April 2016 edition of the #desertleaf magazine. #tucson #arizona #euphorbia #euphorbiaantisyphilitica #candelillas #xeriscape #xeriscaping

La candelilla o Euphorbia antisyphilitica es una de las plantas de ambientes áridos con potencial como cultivo energético por su capacidad para producir hidrocarburos en forma de látex y ceras. Es además una especie en peligro, por lo que su cultivo sería benéfico para su conservación. #Candelilla #Euphorbiaceae #EuphorbiaAntisyphilitica #BiodiversidadMexicana #FloraMexicana #JardínBotánico #Cadereyta #JardínBotánicoCadereyta #Succulent #succulove #Xerophyte #Biomasa #Biomass #Biomasse #Baiomazu #EnergyCrop #Energía #Renovable #RenewableEnergy #SaiseiKano #Enerugi #Biofuel #Biocombustibles #Bioenergía #Bioenergy #Fuel

A @realmenvironments water feature at #the1340house is strategically shaded to reduce evaporative water loss. The metal obelisk fountain serves as auditory and visual interest in a wall that hides the organic garden in the corner of the yard. #arizona #tucsonarizona #tucsonaz #tucson #fountain #waterconservation #euphorbia #euphorbiaantisyphilitica #candelilla #pedilanthus #pedilanthusmacrocarpus #ladyslipper #aloemarlothii #mountainaloe #landscape #landscaping #landscapedesign #landscapearchitecture #prosopis #mesquite #the1340house
