"I seems to be Pachypodium saundersii from South Africa.
Pachypodium lamerei is a quite different species from Madagascar.

A reply:

"Not P. lamerei JM,

I tend to agree with François Sampieri in that it looks more like Pachypodium saundersii. And at that, not a very well grown one. I was initially thinking something else, but had settled on saundersii when I looked at the rest of the messages. P. lamerei are normally tall, usually ingle stemmed till over 7’ then forms branches, although I have seen some multiple stemmed plants also, but never would have thin branches and pairs of random thorns like this.

God Bless and Good Growing,
