Re: Euphorbia ID
I'm not an expert, but this look to me like some kind of Pachypodium.
Re: Euphorbia ID
My first thought too, a Pachypodium. But which one, I don't know...
Re: Euphorbia ID
I think it is a Euphorbia. You can always pull off a leaf and see if it bleeds white. If it does it definitely is a Euphorbia. If it doesn't bleed or bleeds clear then Maj and Aiko are correct. There are a bunch of little shrubby type Euphorbias. It is not one I recognize off the top of my head, but I don't get the sense that it is a rare one.

Re: Euphorbia ID
I thought it was a Euphorbia too. I recently purchased this but I don't know what it is but it's a Euphorbia. The leaves of yours look similar. Euphorbia croizatii? But I can't seem to find any info that it has a caudex. The grower just called it Euphorbia milii "caudex"

Re: Euphorbia ID
euphorbia kondoi
Re: Euphorbia ID
It does have white sap, so it's a Euphorbia. Kondoi sounds good but it has a much longer spines that what mine has, someone in in another forum has suggested rossii...
Re: Euphorbia ID
Coldcactus...I'd say you have a Pachypodium lamerei on your hands.

Re: Euphorbia ID

It's out for delivery today so I can take some more detailed pictures.

Re: Euphorbia ID
I can see why someone might think that last one is a Pachypodium. Keep in mind the people on this forum are pretty cactus obsessed and everything else is just a succulent to them! You may have to get it to flower to ID it for certain.

Re: Euphorbia ID
Euphorbia, all of 'em. There are so many Euphorbia out there that they are hard to pin down. Some have really cool caudex, like your first plant. Here's a link to a quick reference: http://www.fat-plants.com/category/32196118" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
