Help ID my Funky Cacti-Plant with Flowers

busybecky · Post by **busybecky** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 9:30 pm

I have had this plant for 15 years, but it is definitely older than that. It has leaves year-round, loves water, flowers every summer, and drops little round black seeds everywhere. This year, for the first time ever, two seeds have sprouted.

It is about 2 1/2 feet tall right now.

Thanks for any help identifying this would be truly appreciated!!!!

neohumberti/lophogona/something like that

(Moving this to the succulent section for a more positive ID)

Almost certainly Euphorbia leuconeura. Among the similar-looking species, the rows of bristly reduced "spines" are diagnostic for this species.
