Post by geotrox »

Can anyone verify my id?
Maybe ch bigger and stouter than my other E. mammallaris. Are there many cultivars or hybrids with this species? Any assistance is appreciated!!!

Actually this is a pic of the parent plant and it doesn't seem to resemble Euphorbia pulvinata as was suggested or have the growth habit described.
I'm puzzled by this one...

Tough to id these plants, especially when the growth form differs so much from individual to individual, even of the same clone.

Some close relative of E. mammillaris / pulvinata / ferox / horrida /polygona etc. seems likely, or a related hybrid.

This may be useful, from: http://www.llifle.com/Encyclopedia/SUCC ... _aggregata

"Euphorbia aggregata belongs to Euphorbia section 19, along with Euphorbia ferox, Euphorbia mammillaris, Euphorbia anoplia, Euphorbia enopla, Euphorbia heptagona, Euphorbia pentagona and Euphorbia polygona which are all similar in form. It belongs to a group of plants, together with the closely related Euphorbia pulvinata, which can be recognised by their striking growing-shape. They consist mostly of compact, multiple-branched and heavily-thorned cushions. These species are closely related, and for an outsider it's very difficult to distinguish them."
