Dear Dr. Garg, I think it could have been a novitate. Please inform the photographer to collect a good specimen, preserve it and make a good description and drawing. Then compare it with the description given in Balakrishnan Sir's book. It is indeed close to Euphorbia pycnostegia but it is not the same. I have seen E. pycnostegia and also var. zornioides in field. The present photos do not match properly. Tapas Chakrabarty.
