Euphorbia mellifera, the Canary spurge[1] or honey spurge,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the spurge family Euphorbiaceae, native to Madeira and the Canary Islands.[3][4] It is an evergreen shrub or tree growing to Шаблон:Convert tall and broad,[5] with narrow leaves up to Шаблон:Convert long. In spring it produces brown, honey-scented flowers.[6]

The Latin specific epithet mellifera means "producing honey".[7]

It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[5][8] Euphorbia × pasteurii is listed[9] as a hybrid between E. mellifera and E. stygiana. The cultivars 'Phrampton Phatty',[10] 'Roundway Titan'[11] and 'John Phillips'[12] have received the RHS AGM.

Like all euphorbias, this plant contains a milky-white sap, which oozes out of the stems when cut. This can be a skin irritant and is very harmful to the eyes. Gloves should be worn when pruning,
