Help with ID : tall cactus with long leafs

Post by cadilhac »

Hi there experts!

I've lost the label on the following beautiful specimen, and I would really appreciate your help in identifying it. It's about a meter high, with a single stem, leafs around 30cm, and I've had it for some 6 years. (And its name is Gaston, but that's mostly irrelevant.) I went through quite a lot of lists and cannot find its ID; if you find it through websearch, I'd also be very interested to know how!

Most heartfelt thanks in advance!

It's not a cactus but a Euphorbia. It resembles E. viguieri (but I'm not sure that's it)

My, teo, thanks very much! I clearly had no chance to find it on my own, since following the guidelines http://cactiguide.com/cactiornot/ did not work for my feeble observation skills. Tack så mycket!
