This one is Euphorbia neriifolia, looking from a distance. Close up of stem
would better resolve the identification.

Thanks Geeta for the post.
Sir, I think Geeta ji has mixed up both the Euphorbias seen next to each
other at Rani Baug, Mumbia. I think the first picture is of E. antiquorum
but the fourth one is of E. neriifolia. As you had explained to me in my
posts of the same two species- the spiral

Yes both Usha ji and Rashida ji are right. I saw only the last photo. First
two are clearly E. antiquorum, and fourth E. neriifolia. Third is not clear

Stem is developed in both. In practice in shrubs the branches arising from
base are known as stems only. The difference is of common stem better known
as trunk. In trees we have a trunk which is single for some distance after
which the branches arise (E. nivulia and others). In Shrubs
Sir, my clarification is for - the leaves all radical and leaves not all

Sir I think there is some confusion here. The keys from Dr. Almeida's flora
and Aima's book which have pictures also do not show green cyathia.
Besides both say stipular spines on prominent tubercules are arranged
in spirals. Perhaps the wiki plant is E. neriifolia than? . seek your
My key was deliberatey based on non floral characters, except for use of
