If you treat Synadenium as a synonym of Euphorbia, then the correct name should be: Euphorbia umbellata (Pax) Bruyns [synonyms: *Synadenium umbellatum* Pax (1894) ; *Synadenium grantii* Hook.f.]
If you treat Synadenium as an independent genus, then the correct name should be: *Synadenium grantii* Hook.f. (1867) You cannot use *Euphorbia grantii* for this species, because there is already an earlier *E. grantii* Oliv. (1875) for a different species. *Euphorbia pubescens* (Pax) Bruyns is an illegitimate name, as it is preoccupied by *E. pubescens* Vahl (1791) N.P.
