African Milk Tree/Bush? Euphorbia??

[*Barracuda_45*]

Ok i belive this is in the African Milk tree/bush family, anyone have a idea on which type of Euphorbia this one is? This same plant has been listed several times on *Cough* eeeeeeebay under the same name. Heres mine..

Its got little tiny leaflets inbetween the spines.

Or is this something diffrent??

The family definitely appears to be Euphorbiaceae. Not sure it's a true Euphorbia though. You might try http://www.desert-tropicals.com/ - they're my favorite datasource for Euphorbs (my first botanical obsession.) I'm almost certain I've seen this plant on there.
Let me know if you'd like to trade cuttings! I have a few really neat ones, including E. poisonii, which does, in fact, look as cool as it sounds.

PS - Er, E. poisonii isn't the one I was thinking of... but it looks like a dead purple-and-orange stick except for the little rootlets on the bottom of the sections and the little yellow/white flowers it makes. It's a must-have for those that appreciate weird-shaped plants.

Hey seedjar, when i repot this one in few days prob on Monday i will just try and seperate one of the littler ones/pups growing on the side will that do for yaz?? I will make sure to send ya one of the best looking ones from the batch outa that pot. What all ya got??

I belive i found out what it is, does this ring a bell?
Euphorbia Ferox?

All i know is mine has some real beautiful color to it, nice purple spines.

Hmm... I know E. ferox is on my want list... but which one it is, I'm not too sure.
I'm getting ready to bring in my houseplants for fall, so this weekend I'll try to take some pics/do inventory of what I have for trade. If you're looking for cacti/succulents, I can find some interesting things to offer. I'll PM you.

Hey Joe, PM'd yaz back, as far as i have been able to get info this is what they call the African Palm Tree type of Euphorbia, from what i gather it is a much sought after plant. Im trying to find a decent site with good info and care but so far on slow arse dial up its not getting me to far.. I did come across these sites though,
the first link seems to be a good one. I guess i got lucky mine has the little tiny leafs and nice purple colored spines where as others of the Ferox dont have the tiny leafs and deeper purple color spines.
