Mazatlan Euphorbia

[TroyES]

While visiting Paco's Reserve in Mazatlan, Mexico, our guide, Paco Jr., was excited to see this Euphorbia blooming. He said that the flowers were rarely seen. While I am aware that guides sometimes exaggerate a sighting, I thought I'd post this here in case it is of interest. Looking through ID sites I didn't find any photos that were exactly like this plant, but then I looked at only 60 or 70 ID photos. ID please?

My guess would be Euphorbia lactea

[TroyES]

Hmmm, a long way from home. This was growing wild, perhaps three miles from the nearest home. I think about 15 miles inland, and perhaps 300 ft elevation. A mix of oak, cactus, bromeliads, and some orchids.

Hmmm, a long way from home.

That was my thought too, but it does look a lot like E. lactea.
