Many thanks Garg ji for repeatedly resurfacing this post. Referring to a part of description of *Euphorbia maddenii *in Flora of Pakistan<http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=250090954> . ... Cyathia shortly pedunculate. Glands semilunar, truncate on the outer edge and with 2 slender horns in length equalling the width of the gland; glands greenish at first, later brownish, horns pale straw-coloured. Fruit roundly trilobate, 2.5 x 2.5-3 mm, smooth, pale green. Styles spreading, united at the base, 0.7 mm long, bifid.
Putting here a cropped version from one of the photos; clearly can see the semilunar green glands, the 2 slender pale straw-coloured horns Am strongly convinced of Gurcharan ji's thought of *Euphorbia maddenii*. Hoping to receive validating comment(s) ... not sure if such glands and horns are found in any other close species.
