Sir, Thank you very much for taking care of this tree. I have full faith on you and Balakrishnan Sir. I have also read the note of Balakrishnan Sir about the limitation of identifying a species only by images. I fully agree.
I have one last request - though Roxburgh's *Euphorbia arborescens* is considered as a synonym of *E. antiquorum* L., Flora Indica informs it can grow to a pretty large tree, with a round distinct trunk. Secondly, Haines informs, in his "Botany of Bihar and Orissa". *Euphorbia trigona* Haworth can grow upto 10-20 ft tree. Can you please tell me if there is any chance of this species to be *E. arborescens* Roxb. or *E. trigona* Haw.? Thank you again.
