Spurge

This is a fairly large group of plants consisting of over 1,500 species. The common factor is that their flowers don't have petals or sepals but do have very showy colored bracts. Another common characteristic is the presence of a milky sap exuded from cut stems. There is at least one tree among the species and many shrubs and herbaceous perennials.
