A reply from Dr. Nidhi:

"euphorbia sps"

[Aarti S. Khale]

Dr Nidhi ji, Garg ji,

Thanks for this id.

[Usha Desai]

Yes Aartiji
This is Euphorbia species
Difference between Euphorbia and Cactus are as follows
The spines in a cactus are many and come from a circular area called aerole.
In Euphorbia there is no aerole and spines are only 2[modified stipules]

Euphorbia has white latex, cactus generally has transparent sap

All cacti are exotic,they come from America.Many Euphorbia species are indigenous[eg E.nerifolia,E.lactea.....]

In catus the flower is solitary[usually big and showy].In euphobia it is a group of tiny flowers..flower head..male and female separate lacking petals[Chyme inflorescence]

Love Usha

Dear Usha ji,

Thanks for explaining the differences between Eophorbia and Cactus.

I am still trying to learn the differences.

Aarti
