A small, ornamental, potted plant seen at the show in MNP on 31/3/13.
Astrophytum again? seems to be euphorbia horrida… I’ll give you a start …, It’s Euphorbia, not sure which one off hand. Several that look similar to me. Euphorbia fruiticosis ? Thanks for the follow up and possible ids.
On searching, could this be Euphorbia meloformis, common name Melon Spurge?
Just a guess.
Experts kindly validate. .

A Euphorbia seen at the Bonsai, Bougainvillea & Cacti Show at Maharashtra Nature Park, Mumbai in March 2013. This is also an introduced garden plant, which I am unable to identify. Thanks for the efforts taken to identify and resurface my post.
During earlier posting of these pictures on our group, Euphorbia horrida & Euphorbia fruticosis were suggested.
On searching, it looked close to Euphorbia meloformis to me. Can you check for Euphorbia infausta?
The images available seem to match with my pictures. . References: POWO Catalogue of Life (syn: Euphorbia infausta N.E.Br., nom. illeg.) The Plant List Ver.1.1 WCSP GBIF (High resolution specimens) Wikipedia worldofsucculents cactus-art
