Although named after the place where it was first identified by botanists, Portland, Portland Spurge can be found elsewhere along the Dorset coast, notably Durlston.
It is a very local flower and nationally scare and Dorset is its stronghold (if you can call it that).
It is a flower of the sea cliffs and is in bloom from May right the way through until September.
Although a typical member of the Spurge family it is unmistakable, partly because of the habitat it prefers, and it has smaller flowers than most other spurges.
