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 spines indicative of E. neriifolia. Request Geeta ji to post close-ups if available. Thanks.
