Taxonomy
Euphorbia rubrostriata was first described by Emmanuel Drake del Castillo in 1903. , there is some confusion over the synonymy of this species. Plants of the World Online (PoWO) accepted only one synonym, Euphorbia mainiana. The African Plant Database also accepted this synonym, but in addition treated Euphorbia isaloensis as a synonym, which PoWO regarded as a separate species. Other sources, based on the now discontinued World Checklist of Selected Plant Families, regarded Euphorbia rubrostriata as a synonym of Euphorbia milii var. milii.
