Name: Euphorbia esula Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This leafy spurge type is widely naturalized in the northern United States and Canada. Stands occur in fields, roadsides, stream valleys, open woodlands, waste places and native prairie on a variety of soils. Other weedy species may occur as well, but native species are generally less than 10% cover. Native species may include mixed-grass prairie grasses, such as <i>Pascopyrum smithii</i> and <i>Hesperostipa comata (= Stipa comata)</i>, as well as others. This type is a serious pest of rangeland, since it is unpalatable to cattle. Where native species are conspicuous enough to identify the native plant association that could occupy the site, the stand should be typed as such.
