Abstract
The name Euphorbia articulata Dennst., as applied to the species occurring in the Malabar coast of Peninsular India, but distinct from E. atoto Forst. f. is a later homonym and illegitimate. When E. halophila Miquel is treated as conspecific to E. articulata Dennst., the correct name of the species is E. pallens Dillw.
