The plant has leaves all the way around the main stem. The main stems are strong and don't need support. The leaf veins are parallel. The flowers are about 1/2" across with 4 petals each. When I picked the flower and leaf in the picture, white sap came out. Thanks, Alan
It looks like a Euphorbia sp. It reminds me of Euphorbia milii. But that has thorns up the stem. As you make no mention of thorns it cannot be that one. http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgu...&ndsp=23&ved=1t:429,r:4,s:15&biw=1247&bih=529 The white latex sap is toxic. Do wear gloves. http://www.euphorbia.de/giftstart_e.htm
Silver Surfer, Thanks for your help identifying the plant, especially the information about the poisonous sap! Best Regards, Alan
