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.

Yes .., Euphorbia lathyris, perhaps.


Yes .. It is Euphorbia for sure. Perhaps Euphorbia prolifera.
…, please supply a close up of cyathium showing glands (innermost flower-like structure). This species looks similar to E. wallichii but grows at lower altitudes ascending to around 2000m, whereas W. wallichii grows above 2500 m or so.


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.
Though fruit would have fixed the species conclusively but looking at slightly serrulate leaves, the plant appears to be Euphorbia cornigera Boiss. (syn: E. pilosa var. cornigera (Boiss.) Hook.f.)

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.

Euphorbia cornigera Boiss.
along Govind Ghat – Ghangaria trail on 01 AUG 12


Nothing to say.



/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Euphorbia-3_for_ID_DSR.JPG
This Euphorbia species is a wild species shot near Khati village on way to Pindari glacier (2500m) in Uttarakhand.
Resemble to E.pilosa but determination from experts is needed. 

This species is Euphorbia cornigera Boiss., found in JK, HP, Uttarkhand and Arunachal Pradesh.



/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Euphorbia-4_for_ID_DSR.JPG
This Euphorbia species is also a wild species shot near Naini Tal (2000m) in Uttarakhand. It also resembles to E.pilosa but expert determination is requested.

This is Euphorbia cornigera L. 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.

This Euphorbia was shot during VOF Trekking, was very common in the area…
Is this Euphorbia wallichii ??

Again not E. wallichii
Fruits are warty


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.

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.

please give your opinion about the id..
I will try to share close up pics, if I could find any, to ascertain..
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 think seems to match with images at Euphorbia cornigera


Yes. this plant is Euphorbia cornigera Boiss. var. cognata (Klotzsch.) Binojk. & N.P.Balakr.
Here the ovary is sparsely warty, whereas in var. cornigera the ovary and fruits are densely covered with conical warts.
This is found in JK, HP and Uttarkhand.

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 🙁

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

Your first photograph clearly shows warty fruits. It should be E. cornigera, unless you have mixed up the two species.


Again my mix-up, …
These plants were nearby (say some difference of 2 metres)
Photos 1 & 3, now I understand bear the warty fruits – Euphorbia cornigera – and the plant seems to have hanging branches.
Photos 2, 4 and 5 bear the non-warty fruits, erect plants – are these Euphorbia wallichii ?


Yes … I could see some smooth fruits, that is why I suggested possible mix up.

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
