Chamaesyce is a genus of plants in the family Euphorbiaceae. Recent phylogenetic studies have shown that
Chamaesyce is deeply nested within the broader
Euphorbia. Specifically,
Chamaesyce is very closely related to plants like
Euphorbia pulcherrima, the popular poinsettia (this and related plants have also been given in their own genus,
Poinsettia, but are also well nested within
Euphorbia). Currently, all species have now been reclassified
