This is a Euphorbia species of some sort, not a cactus. Do you have a picture of the entire plant to assist in ID?

I have phjotographed a similar one earlier at Rishi Valley, near Madanapalle and the flowers in that were rather big. Plant profile was identical. So i was surprised to see this plant producing such small flowers. Another plant growing close by did not have flowers but had a large number of snails hibernating on them. If the group is interested i can post that photo too. Please identify this xeophyte Place : As mentioned in the earlier mail, 2 kms from the eastern coast of kanykumari.Taken this month.
