Hierba, de 0.30 a 1 m. Hojas alternas (las superiores opuestas). Lámina pandurada, de elíptica a ovado-elíptica, de 2.5 a 10 por 1 a 5.5 cm. Margen entero o dentado. Inflorescencias ciatias en cimas compactadas y fasciculadas. Frutos de casi 4 mm de longitud. Se reconoce por su hábito herbáceo, por sus hojas con el borde dentado, a veces con la lámina pandurada, por sus inflorescencias compactas y por las ciatias con una glándula bilabiada. Esta última caracteristica la diferencia de Euphorbia heterophylla la cual es muy similar, pero presenta la glándula circular.
