Euphorbia 'Pineapple Head' is a hybrid of South African Euphorbia species, believed to involve Euphorbia bupleurifolia and Euphorbia susannae. It forms a stout, conical stem with overlapping segments that resemble the crown of a pineapple. The stem surface is ridged and grey-green to glaucous, often developing reddish tones with age or exposure to bright light. Short paired spines are present along the ridges, and under favourable conditions, yellow cyathia may appear at the growing tip.
