Capers - Euphorbia lathyris - Caper Spurge - Kapersmjólk - Mjólkurjurt - Mjólkursafajurt - Gullmjólk - Mole spurge - Paper spurge - Gopher spurge - Kruisbladige wolfsmelk - यूफोरबिया - Moleplant - Gopher plant - Hagevortemjølk - Euphorbe épurge - Kreuzblättrige Wolfsmilch - Lechetrezna - Tártago - Euphorbiaceae - Mjólkujurtaætt - Blómknúppar - Eitruð planta - Poison plant - The sap is highly corrosive and can cause burns to your skin and serious damage to your vision if it gets into your eyes. The ‘capers’ – which are of course not real capers and you can’t eat them – these are the seed pods and when they’re ripe on a hot summer’s day you can hear them exploding all over the place. The leaves are arranged in decussate opposite pairs, and are lanceolate, 5–15 cm long and 1-2.5 cm broad, glaucous blue-green with a waxy texture and pale greenish-white midrib and veins. The flowers are monoecious (individual flowers are either male or female, but both sexes can be found on the same plant) and are pollinated by Flies. The three-lobed fruits are larger than those of other spurges, resembling capers, but they are poisonous. All stems when broken will ooze a toxic and somewhat caustic milky latex. Gardeners should wear gloves. • Mole spurge - So called because these are known to have the property of deterring moles where planted. Commonly known as Caper Spurge. Moles are said not to like the scent exuded by the roots into the soil, or the taste it gives to worms. https://www.victoriananursery.co.uk/M... • Due to the presence of ingenane-type and lathyrane-type (the lathyranes are named after the scientific name for Caper Spurge, Euphorbia lathyris) diterpenes Caper Spurge is toxic if eaten, although goats are not susceptible to the poisons. However, the poisons will be transferred into the milk from goats, which is then poisonous for humans to drink. The lathyrane-type diterpenes present include ‘Lathyrol’, ‘IsoLathyrol’, ‘EpoxyLathyrol’, ‘ 7-HydroxyLathyrol’ and ‘Jokinol’ being potent P-gp inhibitors and used in traditional Chinese medicine.

While poisonous to humans and most livestock, goats sometimes eat it and are immune to the toxin. However, the toxin can be passed through the goat's milk. The mole plant is sold by some nurseries as it is believed to repel moles. It is used in folk medicine as a remedy for cancer, corns, and warts and has been used by beggars to induce skin boils.[ • See more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphorb... • Euphorbias, also known as Spurges, a vast genus of plants, wildly varying, including some very common weeds and some rather nice garden plants, in an understated kind of way. They usually don’t go in for flashy, these plants, not generally having much in the way of what one might call flowers, instead they tend to have stately bracts: modified leaves that are at the back of the flower and from out of the middle of which the insignificant flower and subsequent seed pod grow, plus, certainly in this case, another two more stems which grow each into two more bracts etc, until it eventually runs out of steam.

Caper spurge is a large architectural annual or biennial weed with blue-green leaves that can pop up in beds and borders. Growing to a height of 120cm, it flowers from May to June and develops caper-like seeds from July to August.

Flower are white with violet stamen and sweetly fragrant
