Excellent shot Shrikant ji. Thanks for sharing this picture. I think Neil ji's plant ( https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups=#!search/Euphorbia$20acaulis$20Neil$20Soares/indiantreepix/nlrgBBYLBy4/Xf9OvsnaM8UJ) looks different and perhaps qualifies to *Euphorbia nana* as mentioned by you. It also matches with the illustration here: http://plantgenera.org/illustration.php?id_illustration=61140&language=English
