It is native to most of Europe, northern Africa, and western Asia, where it typically grows in cultivated arable land, gardens and other disturbed land.

The leaves are oval-acute, 1–3 cm long, with a smooth margin. It has green flowers in three-rayed umbels. The glands, typical of the Euphorbiaceae, are kidney-shaped with long thin horns.===Guna===
