Your plant is not E. leucocephala. In this species, the leaves below the cyathia are white, oblanceolate. petiolate,
prominent, densely crowded around the many cyathiate inflorescence and
gives the impression of snow flakes on a bush, hence the common name of
this species is :Snow Flake Plant.
In your plant there are no floral leaves subtending the cyathia.
All leaves of your plant are scattered, green. Only the appendages of
the glands on cyathia are white, lanceolate, sessile and too small.
I do not know where to look for to identify your plant. Probably it is an introduced plant.
