Euphorbia?! Still unresolved!

Post by nachtkrabb »

Hello folks,
about 3 years ago somebody at a succulent fair gave me this plant as a Monadenium crispum. What a nice name, I thought, and learned that it is oldfashioned & today should be called Euphorbia neocrispa.
I put it into a pot & it grew. Then it got a bigger pot & continued to grow.
Well enough. Today I searched some information about it & realised: What I see in all those articles looks totally different from my plant. I do not understand it!
My plant has no leaves, only a couple of miniature things resembling Euphorbia leavlets from afar.
My plant has no caudex, at least not visibly.
My plants grows totally differently.
What kind of plant may my plant be...?
Thank you for your help.

Accidentally I stumbled across Euphorbia alluaudii subsp. oncoclada / Euphorbia leucodendron (more or less synonyms).
Who knows those? Is it possible that this is what this plant is?
Thanks
