Dear All,
I agree with T.C. There is considerable variation in the species complex of
geophytic Eupborbias of India belonging to the subgenus Rhizanthium.
Somebody has to take up detailed field observations in various habitats and
eco-habitats, covering the same plant over several years. Then only
It is necessary to examine mature fruits to determine. If the cylindrical
processes on capsules are about 1 mm long, then it could be E. cornigera
var. cornigera. If they are about 0.5 mm then it would be var. cognata.
Further the whole plant also needs to be seen to see the nature of
branching.

This Euphorbia comes near to E. pycnostegia Boiss., but there are some
minor differences from that species. For the present you can tentatively

This species is commonly found in the Western Ghats of Maharastra

S. American floras.
