--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Herbs,</b> annual, with taproot. <b>Stems</b> usually prostrate, rarely ascending-erect, 5–70(–85) cm, glabrous. <b>Leaves</b> opposite; stipules distinct, linear-subulate, usually lacerate and divided into 2 or more slender segments, rarely entire, 0.6–1.4 mm, glabrous; petiole 1–2.5 mm, glabrous; blade linear to narrowly oblong, (5–)10–25(–30) × 2–5 mm, base usually symmetric, sometimes slightly asymmetric, attenuate, margins entire, occasionally ± revolute, apex acute to obtuse, mucronulate, surfaces glabrous; only midvein conspicuous. <b>Cyathia</b> solitary or in small clusters on short axillary branches at distal nodes; peduncle 1–5 mm. <b>Involucre</b> broadly cupuliform-campanulate, 1.2–1.7 × 1.4–1.8 mm, glabrous; glands 4, reddish pink to greenish yellow, deeply concave, elliptic to oblong, 0.2–0.3 × 0.3–0.5 mm; appendages white, elliptic to oblong, usually forming narrow margin around gland, sometimes rudimentary, 0.2–0.6 × 0.3–0.7(–1.1) mm, distal margin entire. <b>Staminate</b> flowers 40–55. <b>Pistillate</b> flowers: ovary glabrous; styles 0.5–0.7 mm, 2-fid nearly entire length. <b>Capsules</b> ovoid-globose, 2–2.3 × 1.5–2.5 mm, glabrous; columella 1.4–2 mm. <b>Seeds</b> mottled brown and white because of irregularly loose and tight outer covering, broadly ovoid, rounded-angular in cross section, 1.4–1.8 × 0.8–1 mm, smooth or only inconspicuously roughened.</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Euphorbia parryi</i> is similar to <i>E. missurica</i>, differing only by the generally narrow involucral gland appendages and prostrate habit in <i>E. parryi</i> as opposed to the conspicuous involucral gland appendages and ascending-erect habit in <i>E. missurica</i>. <i>Euphorbia parryi</i> has sometimes been considered the western race of <i>E. missurica</i> (D. S. Correll and M. C. Johnston 1970).</p>
