    This herb have dark red stems, small green leaf, it grow on 2 side parallel. I am not good at words. Please it on this photos.

    The environment where it grows : it grow between rocks or between cracks. It use little soil. The way it grow is dispersing horizontal. I also attached photo of where it grow.

    It is known that this herb good to maintain guts healthiness. It can help cure diarrhea, helps reduce stomach ache, it helps body fights gut infection, and many gut'problems . All these benefits is known by traditions, nor clinical test.

    Definitely has the look of one of those two. This key from Kew explains one of the ways to tell the two apart, although I am not seeing any capsules to work from: eFloras key to Euphorbia sect. Chamaesyce
