I was given this as a present and initially called it a euphorbia ingens, but, after reading the descriptions of e. ingens I realized that mine only has 4 ridges where the literature on ingens says that it has 5 ridges.

Anyone have any idea what this 4 rigid ingens look alike really is?? The parent from which this small branch was plucked stands 3 meters tall and shows no signs of halting its upward growth.

Thanks

    Here are some Euphorbia ammak close ups... can see these have well fromed, though small paired spines and 'wavy' edges.5a27889feb4a7_Euphorbiaammakblooming5-105a2788a9f1134_EuphorbiaammakcloseupSperl5a2788d151c9a_Euphorbiaammakvariegcyathi5a2788da40a8b_Euphorbiaammakshednewgrowt5a2788f1d87db_Euphorbiaammakcloseup7-12.

    And here are a few close ups of E ingens, showing the blunted, almost non-existent spines and smoother, less wavy edges.

    I went and took pics of the parent plant, which definately has 4 and only 4 ridges.

    It is in a location that does NOT get direct sun light.

    Thanks
