'''''Euphorbia peplis''''' ('''Purple Spurge''') is a species of ''[[Euphorbia]]'', native to southern and western [[Europe]], northern [[Africa]], and southwestern [[Asia]], where it typically grows on [[coast]]al sand and shingle.<ref name=grin>Germplasm Resources Information Network: [http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?16395 ''Euphorbia peplis'']</ref><ref name=flora>''Flora Europaea'': [http://rbg-web2.rbge.org.uk/cgi-bin/nph-readbtree.pl/feout?FAMILY_XREF=&GENUS_XREF=Euphorbia+&SPECIES_XREF=peplis&TAXON_NAME_XREF=&RANK= ''Euphorbia peplis'']</ref><ref name="blamey">Blamey, M. & Grey-Wilson, C.

It should not be confused with the similarly spelled ''[[Euphorbia peplus]]'' (Petty Spurge), a common weed.<br />
<br />
It is a small, prostrate [[annual plant]], the stems growing to 10-20 cm long, typically with four stems from the base. The [[leaf|leaves]] are opposite, oval, 1-2 cm long, grey-green with reddish-purple veins.<ref name="blamey"/><br />
<br />
At the northern edge of its range in [[England]], it has always been rare, and is now [[extinct]].<ref name="blamey"/><ref name="pearman">Pearman, D. A. & Preston, C. D. (2002). The last British record of Euphorbia peplis. ''BSBI News'' 91: 25.</ref><br />
