Euphorbia cornigera Boiss., Prodr. 15(2): 122 1862. (Syn: Euphorbia pilosa var. cornigera (Boiss.) Hook. f.);
.
The characteristic feature of this species is that the mature fruits are densely covered by cylindrical processes. Young fruits as seen in the photo do show indications and appearances of the processes.
.
The warty surface of the ovary and fruits, which is characteristic of Euphorbia cornigera. In E. wallichii the ovary and fruits are smooth.

Kalatope id al270511a: Yes .., Euphorbia lathyris, perhaps. Yes .. It is Euphorbia for sure. Perhaps Euphorbia prolifera. may be Euphorbia pilosa .. Yes E. pilosa may also be possibility. In fact all E. prolifera, E. pilosa, E. cornigera, E. cognata and even E. wallichii (omitted on the basis of its occurring at higher altitudes) look similar, and fruits and glands help in final distinction, that is why I have requested .. to get close up of cyathium for final identification. I had taken a photo of the cyathium the other day, sir… but when one does not know the importance of a certain feature, it does not have any value…. I hope this helps or I’ll see the next time I go to those parts of the sanctuary (if they are still flowering then..) The plant has glands which are rounded on the outside, thus fits with Euphorbia pilosa of Flora Simlensis and FBI. Latter recognises three varieties under pilosa: var. pilosa (under which no specimen is cited from India); var. cognata and var cornigera. These are now considered as three distinct species E. pilosa, E. cognata and E. cornigera. E. pilosa according to eFlora of Pakistan does not grow in our area being distributed in Mongolia and Siberia, where as both E. cognata and E. cornigera occur in Himalayas.
VoF Week : Euphorbia pilosa: Euphorbia pilosa of Euphorbiaceae family
Clikced on 16th August` 12 while trekking down from Ghanghariya to Govind Ghat, CHamoli, Uttarakhand. Euphorbia pilosa perhaps does not occur in Himalayas. This is likely to be E. corngigera. Frank Smythe reports collecting Euphorbia pilosa from Valley of Flowers in 1937. I am not sure if it wasn’t some other species. I also consider Euphorbia wallichii. Frankly I am not able to distinguish between them properly. My first guess was E. wallichii only, so common at these altitudes, but I could see some warts in some of the young fruits visible. A mature fruit should decide conclusively.
VoF Week: Euphorbia cornigera from the way to Ghangriya: Euphorbia cornigera from the way to Ghangriya          Could this be Euphorbia cornigera (Family: Euphorbiaceae)??
Location: along Govindghat-Ghangaria Trail. Grand pictures, … great The beauty comes to light only after zooming. Great shots.
VoF Week: Euphorbia spp for ID please: Euphorbia cornigera I hope
VOF Week: Euphorbiaceae sp-2 along Govindghat-Ghangaria trail: I think this should be Euphorbia cornigera only… If all photographs belong to same plant then surely E. cornigera
Nothing to say.

This Euphorbia was shot during VOF Trekking, was very common in the area… Is this Euphorbia wallichii ?? Again not E. wallichii This is Euphorbia cornigera Boiss. Notice the warty surface of the ovary and fruits, which is characteristic of this species. In E. wallichii the ovary and fruits are smooth.

Kindly confirm ID Species: Euphorbia thomsoniana
Location: Paddar valley J&K
Altitude: 3200 m Close up of cyathia should help. The leaves don’t suggest E. thomsoniana Although not a good quality picture, had just tried to zoom the picture. Fruit is clearly tuberculate. E. pilosa, E. cognata or E. cornigera This is not E. thomsoninana. The warted ovaries and capsules indicate that this is E. cornigera Boiss.

To me this looks like Euphorbia cornigera Oh. Great to see the plant in large numbers! Yes, this is most probably E. cornigera Boiss.
I saw a couple of specimens of this beautiful Euphorbia on my walk on Saturday. Could this be E. cornigera? Please advise.

Saw this Euphorbia at Ghangaria trail, Uttarakhand in Aug 2018. Requested to please provide ID, if possible. Is this E. cornigera?
Pl. check images and details at
May be?
It could be either E. cornigera Boiss. or E. donii Oudejans. Please check characters on live plants with my book on Euphorbia of India. Thanks … for the feedback. Unfortunately, this is the only pic I have and it would not be possible to look at the live plants 🙁
. Mumbai, February 2015 :: Jasminum for ID :: ARK2022-108: 1 high res. image. This was clicked enroute Ghangaria from Gobindghat in August 2018.
This was missed when all other plants from the VOF trek were posted back in 2018.
I thought this to be Euphorbia cornigera.
Is this lone pic enough to conclude on the ID?
Requested to please provide ID, if possible.
Please disregard this mail. This has already been IDed tentatively as E. cornigera here
I think yes This is Euphorbia cornigera Boiss. as per images and details herein.
2012 – My first post – Al010112: I thought it to be Euphorbia wallichii…
Location – Pangi Valley, Himachal
Altitude 3000 mts Habit herb Habitat wild Height – 2 feet Season July-August This is Euphorbia cornigera Boiss. as per images and details herein.
Your first photograph clearly shows warty fruits. It should be E. cornigera, unless you have mixed up the two species. Again my mix-up, … Yes … I could see some smooth fruits, that is why I suggested possible mix up.
VoF Week : Euphorbia for ID please – MN080912: Euphorbia sp. Kindly identify Ovary seems to be smooth suggesting Euphorbia wallichii On closer examination fruits appear to be warty. so it may be Euphorbia cornigera Boiss.

Kindly confirm the ID Species: Euphorbia wallichii
Location: Paddar valley J&K
Altitude: Around 3000 m Yes, this is Euphorbia wallichii Hook.f. It appears more closer to images and details at Euphorbia cornigera Boiss. . Identification required for this euphorbia sp from Rajouri jandk: 2 high res. images.
I hope E. wallichii. The species is generally found at altitudes above 2800 m I think may be (due to limited aspects seen) Euphorbia cornigera Boiss. as ovary is warty and not glabrous. Much resembles with E.cornigera . |
