Images* A.1 *& *A.2* are out of focus the ovaries are not clearly visible. It may be either *E. thymifolia* or *E. prostrata*. Not sure. Images *A.3, A.4, A.5 *&* A.6* are definitely *Euphorbia prostrata* Ait. Notice the ciliate hairs on the keels of ovary, which are otherwise glabrous on faces. *B.1, B.2 & B.3* are mixture of two species. The small-leaved one is most probably *E. thymifolia* L. The ovaries seem to be pubescent all over. The large-leaved ones are probably *E. hirta* or *E. hypericifolia* *B.4 *is *E. thymifolia* L.. N.P.
