摘要：

A small prostrate herb, Euphorbia salsicola, a woody shrublet with curious tubers, E. scatorhiza, and a small tree with decorative bracts, E. thulinii, arc described as new species of Euphorbia. Within subgenus Lyciopsis the morphological variability of E. cuneata in Somalia is discussed and a new subspecies cretacea is described. E. gypsophila, a closely related but distinct species found only on gypsum is also described as new, together with E. dunensis, a shrublet from the coastal dunes and E. tripartita, another shrub in the same subgenus related to E. matabelensis. As far as present records show, all the new taxa are endemic in Somalia.
