Please Help Identify Seedling

If anyone has seen the plant pictured, please tell me what it is. It is probably an Euphorbia, because of the leaf arrangement and acrid white latex, but I've never seen this one before. It appeared as a seedling in an area where I lost a Palm. The soil and palm came from North Carolina. ******************************************** Robert L. Chehey Boise, ID, USA, USDA Zone 7.

It's supposed to be a JPEG file, but it looks like it was improperly attached. Possibly Robert included it rather than attaching it. Or else it is a corrupted file. |

"Robert Chehey" wrote in message news That's better! It's a wild Euphorbia. It's the one they call caper spurge, I think (Euphorbia lathyrus). But don't try pickling those seeds! And the sap can be caustic on some skins, it used to be put on warts. But it's a fascinating plant, a biennial usually. The second year it loses that splendid columnar estate with directly opposing leaves. We love it! One of its lesser cousins is small and soft with a very different shape and it grows everywhere in my garden, the hens don't eat it so I do have some patches of green. Mary |

"Robert Chehey" wrote in message news Mary is right. Here in England we call it a Mole Plant because it's reputed to repel moles from your garden. We don't have moles, so it must work :-) someone |

Thanks to Mary and Someone.
You are right is is Euphorbia lathyrus or mole plant or gopher spurge, a southern European native. I just hadn't seen it in this part of the world before..
