Euphorbia anachoreta is a species of flowering plant in the family Euphorbiaceae, endemic to the Fora Islet of the Savage Islands.[1] This species has been considered a Critically Endangered species due to its highly restricted population size.[1] As most other succulent members of the genus Euphorbia, its trade is regulated under Appendix II of CITES.[4]

In the wild, it grows in the crags of basaltic rocks, where it is sheltered from salty winds.[5]
