The original species is endemic to \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"130\"\u003eMadagascar\u003c\/b\u003e, specifically discovered in the Central Plateau near the Itremo area (Ikalavamony and Analamamy limestone mountains) in the Fianarantsoa province. While the pure species was only formally described in 2021, this hybrid was specifically bred by succulent enthusiasts and nurseries to combine the unique \"Medusa-head\" structure with the vibrant flowering traits of other Malagasy Euphorbias.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHabitat\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eAs a cultivated hybrid, it does not exist in the wild.

Its parentage stems from limestone outcrops in Madagascar, where plants must endure intense sunlight, seasonal droughts, and well-draining mineral soils.
