\nEuphorbia lakshminarasimhanii<\/a>: 1 image.
\nA new succulent species of Euphorbia<\/em> subg. Euphorbia<\/em> sect. Euphorbia (Euphorbiaceae)<\/em> has been found in Maharashtra, India<\/span> and is here described as E. lakshminarasimhanii<\/em> in honor of the late plant taxonomist Dr. P. Lakshminarasimhan.<\/span> This novelity is easily distinguished from all previously known Indian species by its unique sparsely-branched pygmy habit, closely spaced and horizontally flattened tubercles, trapezoidal spine shields which are very close and overlapping at the apical region, giving a pouch like appearance, bifurcated spines completely separated by the leaf scar, leaves forming a crown, long bracts extending past the gland edge, coral red colored glands with indented margins, male florets 10 per fascicle, and capsule having globose cocci with thin keels.\u00a0<\/span>
