Euphorbia - the one often known as the mole plant because it's said to
keep moles away. It doesn't! Seeds itself all over the place. aka
caper spurge.


I may be wrong but if so, so is Bob Flowerdew. He said that the sap
was used to rub on moles on the skin. Don't know if that works either.

Really? The sap irritates the skin in a lot of people. But then that
could be the point - it irritates warts and moles out of business ;-)
