| Try looking in succulent books or succelent sections. Technically it's a succulent and not classed as a cactus. As far as I know cacti only occur in the Americas and these guys are from Africa.

| yep, its as said. don't have one, don't specialise in other succs but i've seen this species before and this is one of the cooler-looking Euphs IMO. take trig's advice and/or go one further and locate a book specifically on Euphorbias. | trigonus wrote: | | As far as I know cacti only occur in the Americas |
precisely, with the exception of a few Rhipsalis existing throughout central Africa, Madagascar and even Sri Lanka.  how they managed to get there remains a mystery. |
