As per efi thread:
I find that this species should be Euphorbia hypericifolia L., where the leaves are longer than in E. indica. Further the limbs of glands are pinkish white and the cyathia clusters are subtended by smaller leaves, which is not found in E. indica. In Euphorbia hypericifolia, the leaves are longer, lanceolate and narrowed towards apex. In E. indica the leaves are oblong and shorter;
.
In E. hypericifolia the leaves are narrowed towards upper portion and the stems are erect and unbranched, whereas in E. indica, the stems are decumbent and branched from base;

Do you have a picture of the first plant in which the tip of the branch in focus?
I know we have to post different sp in different threads but the plant in the last picture looked similar to the other plant and I wanted to be sure that it is so. I went to take pic of the plant that I last photographed but unfortunately somebody had trampled upon but I could get a close up of similar plant near it I hope it is of help I think this belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae. I have tried to get pics again but this is of a nearby plant to the existing. Someone very unkindly has uprooted the plant in the pot along with this plant and has stolen the pot. It is terrible what people do I hope it helps looks quite similar to the link you have kindly provided. But I have so little knowledge. This does not show berry like fruits yet Now, with these clearer pictures, I think this could be Euphorbia hypericifolia (Syn: Chamaesyce hypericifolia) of Euphorbiaceae family. … oh yes, … Euphorbia hypericifolia (syn: Chamaesyce hypericifolia) referring to the new set of images … a1.jpg AND 190920111752.jpg

ID request – 24092011PC2:
Please identify this Euphorbia species found growing wild in Delhi. It looks like E.hirta but is much taller, growing almost to a height of 2 feet and has cyathium bracts that are white in young unpollinated flower, turning pink after pollination. Looks as if the male flowers mature first (dehised anthers seen in the young cyathium) unlike in E.hirta where the female flowers appear to mature first.

Millsp. is its synonym, if you treat Euphorbia sensu lato. If you prefer to segregate Chamaesyce into a separate genus then Chamaesyce hypericifolia should be the correct name.

EUPHORBIACEAE FORTNIGHT :: Euphorbia erythroclada :: SMP 29 : 1 image. 3 posts by 3 authors.
This species was earlier IDed as possibly Euphorbia erythroclada.
Will get some comments from the new experts This seems to be Euphorbia indica Lam. with cyathia clustered in axillary peduncles. In E. erythroclada, the cyathia are solitary of paired in axils, never in clusters as here. The leaves are pale greenish silvery white beneath in E. erythroclada, but the lower surface of leaves are not visible in the photo. After seeing the currently uploaded photos, I find that this species should be Euphorbia hypericifolia L., where the leaves are longer than in E. indica. Further the limbs of glands are pinkish white and the cyathia clusters are subtended by smaller leaves, which is not found in E. indica.

To remove the contradiction in the identifications, I once again reiterate that my identification that this species is Euphorbia hypericifolia (syn.: Chamaesyce hypericifolia) is the correct identification. The earlier identification that it is E. indica is not correct.

Family: Euphorbiaceae Euphorbia indica to me. This plant is E. hypericifolia L., common in Peninsular India. The plant is Euphorbia nutans. If it is Euphorbia nutans, then a new record for India. Yes, once … identified, it should be taken as final ID. He is the expert of Euphorbiaceae and written complete account of the family for India. I also correct here my earlier ID as per the suggestion by … As a member of the group I suggested the ID based on the resemblance of the photograph. Certainly not to counter any body. It is up to the experts to accept or reject it. Purpose is to get the correct ID. Nothing wrong in rechecking the characters by taxonomic experts. Yes. There is a possibility that it may be E. nutans Lag. However, this species has not been recorded from India so far. It is native of America, and also found in Europe and Egypt. Recently it has been recorded from Iran, which is so far its easternmost location. Thank you … for the identification and an insight on both the species E. hypericifolia and E. nutans The suggestion of … prompted … to arrive at such a conclusion and nobody thought of this possbillity so far. Now that attention is drawn on Euphorbia nutans, I am sure it is a matter of time only when the status of the species, i.e. E. nutans will be clarified. As suggested by …, there is a need for detailed studies. E. hypericifolia, E. hyssopifolia and E. indica are all closely related species having narrow differences. Hence further critical studies on the complex are desirable. Thank you Sir for the kind words.. The need for further studies amongst the similar looking sps. is necessary for more clarifying results.
Interesting. so …, you have your work cut out for you if you are a botanist you know what to do. if not, collaborate with some taxonomist in nearby university and you may have a paper in it for you and your collaborator.

other info:tiny flowers is it Euphorbia hirta? what a nice close up of the tiniest of the flowers. well done efi page on Euphorbia hirta This is definitely not E. hirta, which characteristically have horizontally spreading yellow hairs on stems, petioles and leaves. Okay Sir, I will also try. So should I take it as Euphorbia hirta? Please advice … already mentioned that it is not Euphorbia hirta and it may be an introduced species. The way out is to download the images and compare them with the book, Genus Euphorbia in India. If it is not found there then the alliance can be indicated. Let us try for the possible identity.

Euphorbia prostrata Aiton (accepted name) ?? : 2 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (1)
Location: Bali, Indonesia
Altitude: 60 ft.Date: 11 June 2014
Is ID correct ? Image is much closer to Euphorbia hypericifolia and E. indica. I disagree with E. prostrata. I guess Euphorbia hypericifolia is the correct ID. I find it more closer to Euphorbia indica That too. Close species. Euphorbia indica is not listed in Indonesia according to POWO and CoL and I feel image looks slight different compared to net images and POWO herbarium image.
E.prostata and E.hypericifolia also shown no distribution in Indonesias. The photograph suggests the plant is neither E. prostrata nor E. indica. The leaves are larger and longer than wide unlike oblong to orbicular leaves in E. prostrata. The plant is glabrous and hence not E. indica, which has leaves and stems covered with white hairs. It is probably some other species belonging to the subgenus Chamaesyce. This subgenus is predominantly American and hence, I suggest you contact some American herbaria for confirmation. Maybe it is an introduction from New World. Names of Chamaesyce species are showing as synonym of Euphorbia species. Is it correct ? its a subgenus as … just said for simplest description see Wikipedia page

TAXON 61 (4) • August 2012: 764–789 Almost certainly E. hypericifolia. It has established itself worldwide and should be the only species in Indonesia with this morphology. A clearer photo would help a lot as the stipules aren’t easily visible.
Euphorbiaceae plant for ID :: 09082011 SMP1:
Euphorbia maculata E thymifolia/E hypericifolia Key in the Flora of China leads me to Euphorbia bifida I too tried the key in Flora of China and that comfortably took me to Euphorbia bifida. The only character that was not sure about was that whether the capsule glabrous or pubescent. The capsule in the picture seem to be immature. When I tried with the capsule pubescent, it took me to one known species (E. hirta) and the other species (E. indica) has strikingly different character (stem uniformly white puberulent). Thanks … and … for the efforts taken. Euphorbia bifida is not found in India as per Flora of India Vol. 23. May be … can sort it out. Euphorbia hypericifolia. Note the large stipules spreading away from the stems. I don’t know about the occurrence of E. bifida in India, but I do know that E. bifida is hairy and this is quite glabrous. Also, the leaves of E. bifida should be narrower. Someone also suggested E. maculata, which is also hairy. This appears to be Euphorbia hypericifolia L, native to America, introduced into India and now found naturalised in most wastelands and gardens.

Please identify this plant at Nigadi, Pune, Maharashtra Please check Euphorbia indica
Euphorbia hypericifolia probably
we need better classification system.
writings like this that follows adds to confusion…. to say the least
In Euphorbia hypericifolia, the leaves are longer, lanceolate and narrowed towards apex. In E. indica the leaves are oblong and shorter;
In E. hypericifolia the leaves are narrowed towards upper portion and the stems are erect and unbranched, whereas in E. indica, the stems are decumbent and branched from base;
Euphorbia hypericifolia is very much branched, can reach up to 3 to 4 feet height if left undisturbed.
