The flowers of some euphorbias are grouped in special inflorescences called cyathium that appear to be a single flower. These cyathium usually contain the female flower, the male flowers and some croissant-shaped glands.

Les flors d’algunes eufòrbies s’agrupen en unes inflorescències especials anomenades ciati que aparenten ser una única flor. Aquets ciati solen contenir la flor femenina, les masculines i unes glàndules en forma de croissant.
