Thane rural, Maharashtra 2014 September
This is Euphorbia erythroclada Boiss. The lobed limbs of the cyathial glands are a distinctive feature of this species. .     Requesting ID: Euphorbia species (2): 4 images. This is from the same area as the one before. Looks slightly different in color.
Size similar though. Habitat and full plant ? Moyar dry forests, Nilgiris, TN.
The photographs are of the full plant. I have attached two more pictures here.
2 images. Pl. check comparative images at Euphorbia Resembles thymifolia This appears to be Euphorbia erythroclada Boiss.

Please advise the nature, then it can be confirmed. May I request you to post a close up of the flowers, so that … can see the details.
Pl. also pursue GBIF specimens.
I am attaching the original size photos here (one-by-one); but I am afraid they would be of any help. I do not have any closeups taken at that time.
