Thnaks a lot for this wonderful post Padmini ji. Yes indeed this is Euphorbia tirucalli. Common names Pencil Tree/ Milkbush/RubberFinger Trees/ Tiru-Malu .This one was missing in the panaroma of Euphorbias provided so far !
It is called Pencil tree because of the tough, spineless shrub with pencil like dark green branches and a few small grass-green leaves at the tips of growing branches as seen in your pictures. The flowers are aslo found clustered at the apexes of the branches, and the plant produces a milky sap. regards, Rashida.
