Dear Dineshji,

Avinash has posted same flower close up in Indian flora...there also u might have seen comment as E.notoptera only..but when i tried to search on Kew site for its Herbarium sheets...i got and posted there and ask Avinash .. whether your plant look same in appearance then he replied no..........this is pretty confusing to identify plants only with flower close up.....so i have requested Avinash from next onward please click leave photo..and entire habit as well....

I have a suggestion to the photographer(s) - a genuine suggestion. I have observed  photographer(s) clicking the species in dark/black background  and then upload it for ID purpose. Such clicks are not sufficient for IDing the species. Such clicks not only hide the habitat but also sometimes the habit of the plant species. My request to the clicker(s) that atleast for the ID purpose please post/upload your clean and clear click without much of photography skill.

A reply:
" This Euphorbia is not indigenous to India. It is an introduced plant, either from Africa or America. At present I do not recollect having seen any like this. Sent the photos to Kew. Somebody there may be able to identify.

Not E. notoptera (note the imbricate leaves).  Another example of E. pycnostegia ssp. zornioides.

Best,

The imbriate upper leaves indicate that this is most probably Euphorbia pycnostegia ssp. zornioides (Boiss.) Santapau
