    I've never seen one before.
    I'd appreciate any information you could give me on it!
    It has 'arms' coming out of it, and when a new leaf comes, it looks like a spike or hook.
    It has little furries on the edges of the trunk which has four sides (after the first 4 inches or so)
    Thanks

    Euphorbia leuconeura............from underneath!!!

    This may be the third one to ID this month!!!

    Grow it like a regular "Crown of Thorns".

    The "flowers" are not showy but they do self-pollinate and the seeds fly everywhere when the fruit ripen.
