albalandra96Description
The Euphorbia sp has a flowering season from May to mid-December, has 8 fold-symmetry. It grows on karst formations (tsingy).
For the Euphorbia viguieri flowering season is July - August and November - February. It has a 6 fold-symmetry. It looks very similar but we think it is a different species. (Euphorbia viguieri also grows on karst formations in the North of Madagascar).
