Snowden's Bush / Euphorbia glauca

Children using the rear of the Snowden's Bush for forts and games, please be careful not to touch, walk through, or otherwise handle the Euphorbia (an annual plant, pictured below) which is currently widespread in the rear section of the park. It is a very poisonous irritant and if any of the milky sap gets rubbed into eyes from hands, it has the potential to cause blindness.  

It can grow about adult waist high; has grey green leaves pointing stiffly out from the stem and is starting to develop round green seed heads. The flowers are also greenish. It grows amongst the grass as well as under trees in partial shade. 

'Friends of Snowden's Bush' are working on weeding it out, but there is a great deal of it in patches as well as sole plants!
