|discussion=<p><i>Euphorbia cumulicola</i> could be confused with <i>E. bombensis</i>, both of which are widespread in Florida, but there the latter occurs on beaches close to the ocean, whereas <i>E. cumulicola</i> is not a beach-inhabiting species but occurs in more protected sandy habitats such as hammocks or stabilized dunes behind mangroves. Also, <i>E. bombensis</i> has fleshier leaves and larger seeds, and is more compact in habit than <i>E. cumulicola</i>, which is a more sprawling and densely branched plant with leaves that are usually purplish tinged along the margins.</p>
