Abstract

In the greenhouses of the Craiova Botanical Garden there is a rich collection of exotic species, of great scientific and decorative value, obtained over time from seeds or cuttings in the framework of the exchange of plant material between the Botanical Garden and other similar institutions in the country or abroad. Knowing these exotic plants in all aspects and disseminating information both to specialists and to the general public is one of the objectives of a university botanical garden. Succulents represent an interesting group of plants, cultivated in the greenhouses of the Craiova Botanical Garden, of which the species from the Euphorbiaceae family are presented in this communication.
