Petty spurge, a winter or summer annual broad-leaf plant, is a weed of urban places such as landscaped areas and gardens preferring moist, shady locations and often occurring among shrubs and flowerbeds. It also inhabits agricultural land and is found throughout California, except for deserts and the Great Basin, to an elevation of 1000 feet (300 m). Consumption of this plant can cause digestive tract problems, and although rare, it has been reported to be fatally toxic to humans and livestock. The milky sap may cause dermatitis.
