Euphorbia subreniformis
is another of the many species of
Euphorbia
described by Serrano Watson. This slender, delicate annual ranges throughout pine-oak forests from northern
Mexico
to
Guatemala
. Two Edward Palmer collections made in southwestern Chihuahua were cited in the protologue. Only
Palmer 60
is present in the Gray Herbarium (GH), where Watson worked. This specimen is designated the
lectotype
. The
Palmer 292
collection is at K (barcode 000253806!), MICH (barcode 1104875!), NDG (barcode NDG29711 photo!), NY (barcode 00263292!), and
