Pachypodium is my first thought, although it looks a bit more spiney than I would expect. Probably still Pachypodium lamerei?
Hard to say for me, as if it is Pachypodium your climate will have a different effect on it than my climate will. Which probably in that case explains the spikeyness.

But for all I care it could be an Euphorbia nonetheless. Does it bleed white sap, that you know of?

Not right arrangement of thorns nor right color for P, lamerei,
HOWEVER
a real good fit for P. geayi

Thanks

At the moment it looks like Pachypodium lamerei. Wait for that leaves to grow and we will know for sure if P. lamerei or P. geayi.

I'm woting for P. lamerei. :cheers:
