    I'm looking for help to identify this plant given to me as a tiny seedling 4 years ago.
    It has dropped seeds into it's soil which sprouted so now I have five of these plants.
    I thought it was a dry area plant because of the bulbous stem but it seems to thrive on regular watering. It also seems to prefer lots of light.
    I've checked many plant pictures but had no luck finding a match.

    Looks like Euphorbia leuconeura, Madagascar Jewel.

    Thank you, thank you!
    I looked up that species on line and that is indeed what I have.
    It is surely a strange looking fellow with it's square stem and tiny flowers.
    It is going to seed at them moment so I am collecting them before they sprout as happened last season.
    At least now I can look up some information on it.
    again,,,thanks!
