    I bought this
    Euphorbia in 2021 but it was un-named but I made a guess that it was
    Euphorbia bupleurifolia.
    Now I am not so sure as it has too many spines.
    Can anyone identify this plant?
    Thanks in advance :smile: IMG_2024-04-11-11-47-04-486.jpg

    It's Pachypodium lamerei :smile: I've got one, had it many years. It grows slowly but eventually reaches a few feet.

      Wow Thanks!!
      I bought it as a 'succulent' in a supermarket.
      Not one I had even thought of.

      As I have Euphorbia Bupleurifolia x Susannae I had wanted to get the 2 Euphorbia 'parents' (bupleurifolia and susannae).
      I found susannae and thought I had found bupleurifolia.
      Now on the lookout for Euphorbia bupleurifolia again!

      I used to have the two but the bupleurifolia one died and I can't find another. I may have to try on line.
