Euphorbia halemanui (syn. Chamaesyce halemanui)[1][2] is a rare species of flowering plant in the euphorb family known by the common name Kauai sandmat. It is endemic to Kaua{{okina}}i, Hawaii, where there are no more than 400 plants remaining.[2] There are four populations at last count.[2] It is a federally listed endangered species.

This is a shrub with vining, climbing stems that bleed a milky sap. The inflorescence is a single cyathium or a dense cluster of many. It and other Hawaiian euphorbs perform C4 carbon fixation.[2]

This rare plant grows in moist forested slopes on Kaua{{okina}}i. The forests are often dominated by koa (Acacia koa) and {{okina}}ōhi{{okina}}a lehua (Metrosideros polymorpha).[2] In other areas it grows alongside kauila (Alphitonia ponderosa), hame (Antidesma platyphyllum), {{okina}}a{{okina}}ali{{okina}}i (Dodonaea viscosa), Kauai koki{{okina}}o (Kokia kauaiensis), and other native plants.[2]
