Thanks Dinesh ji for adding one more name our list of woody Euphorbias. I will now have to find its differentiating characters from E. antiquorum, E. trigona and E. lactea. My Hortus Third writes: It is a large tree often reaching 10 m tall, branches 4-angled, rarely 5-angled (usually 3-angled in other three), spines minute, branches forming a crown.
Following is suggested in the key 18a. Trees usually taller than 4 m; branches mostly 4 angled, spines minute (less than 3 mm) or absent *E. ingens* b. Shrubs or trees usually less than 4 m tall, mostly 3-angled, spines longer than 3 mm 19 After OK from experts I will change ubsequent numbering accordingly. I will further incorporate into indented key also.
