I have Euphorbia thomsoniana, E. tibetica and E. kanaorica in my collections from Ladakh. E. thomsoniana has much larger leaves, a plant closer to E. wallichii, E. kanaorica looks similar to our plant but has two-horned glands. We can consider E. tibetica because of blackish glands rounded on the outer edge, only I am not too sure about leaves, which should be usually less than 3 cm long and plant usually shorter than 15 cm, a more delicate plant. Perhaps we can explore other species also. Perhaps may tally. For your consideration. Euphorbia tibetica shows dichotomous branching pattern but is not clear in the picture. … if you remeber its habit than you can go for it I think Euphorbia tibetica seems to agree well. Leaf size is also within what … says. Somewhat fleshiness of Euphorbia tibetica also agrees with our plant. .
