This appears to be same as posted by Balkarji in another thread with the following feedback:

"This looks more like E. peplus" from Singh ji.

[Dinesh Valke]

Many thanks Garg ji for repeatedly resurfacing this post.

Referring to a part of description of Euphorbia maddenii in Flora of Pakistan.
... Cyathia shortly pedunculate. Glands semilunar, truncate on the outer edge and with 2 slender horns in length equalling the width of the gland; glands greenish at first, later brownish, horns pale straw-coloured. Fruit roundly trilobate, 2.5 x 2.5-3 mm, smooth, pale green. Styles spreading, united at the base, 0.7 mm long, bifid.

Putting here a cropped version from one of the photos; clearly can see the semilunar green glands, the 2 slender pale straw-coloured horns
Am strongly convinced of Gurcharan ji's thought of Euphorbia maddenii.
Hoping to receive validating comment(s) ... not sure if such glands and horns are found in any other close species.


Regards
Dinesh

[Gurcharan Singh]

Dinesh ji

Similar glands are also met in a few other species but they are distinct: E. maddenii uploaded by Balkar ji is a much delicate plant and actually E. peplus; E. prolifera has habit and leaves looking much similar to EE. wallichii; E. dracunculoides has linear leaves, a plant of a plant of tropical plains.

For sake of clarity, Gurcharan ji, would distinct imply this posted plant to be E. maddenii ?
