A small plant seen in Kenya. Cultivated, garden plant.
Looks very close to Euphorbia leucocephala. This appears to be Euphorbia leucocephala Lotsy, native of Central America, now cultivated in many tropical countries. However, you may compare it with the attached photograph. Attachments (1) Many thanks for the id. My guess was correct after all. I was confused since these plants were quite small, in a flower bed.

Seen in the garden during my visit in October, 2018.   Euphorbiaceae Fortnight: Euphorbia leucocephala from Panchkula Cactus Garden-GS-34 : Attachments (2). 5 posts by 3 authors. Euphorbia leucocephala L. photographed from Panchkula Cactus garden. I do not think your photograph belongs to E. leucocephala. I have copied Dave’s Garden website, a photograph of the true E. leucocephala. Please note that the leaves surrounding the cyathia (so-called floral leaves) are smaller and completely white. In your specimens the cyathia are usually solitary and without any white floral leaves. The white structures are limbs of glands. I just found this photograph on the website of University of Florida very much resembling mine. Please have a look and give your verdict. Yes, this is Euphorbia leucocephala L.

Attached is a picture of a plant captured in the Flower Show, Jijamata Udyan, Mumbai in February 2013.
Requested to please provide ID. This is an introduced Euphorbia, a photograph of which I got earlier in one of the e-mails probably from … I could not identify it. It does not match with native or naturalised species known from India. To me it looks close to Euphorbia leucocephala, the Snow Bush. The above picture is the real Euphorbia leucocephala. Note the leaves surrounding the cyathia are white and large and the limbs of glands on the rim of cyathia are also white and small.
In your plant the leaves surrounding the cyathia are not white, only the limbs of glands are white. Hence, this is a different plant. I do not know what species your plant is. Cultivated ? Euphorbia ‘StarDust White Sparkle’. ?? I am not sure as per
homedesigndirectory toptropicals This appears similar to … plant at Euphorbiaceae Fortnight: Euphorbia leucocephala from Panchkula Cactus Garden-GS-34 identified as Euphorbia leucocephala, by …   EUPHORBIACEAE FORTNIGHT:: Euphorbia sp.1 for id from Cactus Garden Panchkula NS-21 : Attachments (2). 3 posts by 3 authors. This Euphorbia was shot from Panchkula, Cactus Garden.. Recently posted by … in the ongoing fortnight as Euphorbia leucocephala to which this resembles…
Please provide id..
Your plant is not E. leucocephala. In this species, the leaves below the cyathia are white, oblanceolate. petiolate, prominent, densely crowded around the many cyathiate inflorescence and gives the impression of snow flakes on a bush, hence the common name of this species is :Snow Flake Plant.
In your plant there are no floral leaves subtending the cyathia. All leaves of your plant are scattered, green. Only the appendages of the glands on cyathia are white, lanceolate, sessile and too small. I do not know where to look for to identify your plant. Probably it is an introduced plant. Euphorbia hypercifolia ‘Inneuphe; Diamon Frost I hope
