This plant cannot be *E. antiquorum* or any of its synonyms because of the basic difference shown by the inflorescence here. Please examine the above close up of inflorescences. The cyathia here are in diads, with dichotomous branches and each of them is peduncled. However, in *E. antiquorum*, the cyathia are usually in triads with the central cyathium sessile and the two lateral one peduncled. This is unlike any Indian Euphrobias. N. P.
