  • Question

    Can anyone please tell me what this plant is, located is sandy soil near the shore of a Lake in Central New Hampshire ? It is the only plant in my Region that I have come across that I am unable to ID? Possibly an alien or invasive species? It is common.

    Answer

    Dear alonerock, you've photographed Euphorbia cyparissias (Cypress spurge). This is a non-native member of the Euphorbiaceae that can be quite aggressive in open areas. Best wishes.
