This member of the Euphorbiaceae family was
given this name by Ethelbert Blatter and F. Hallbergin 1921. It is found in
the Western
Ghats of South-West India, growing in a well
drained soil with some water and some to lots of sun. The buried
caudex can grow to 20 centimetres in diameter and 40 centimetres
long. The short branches are almost buried too, and the plant only
raises to eight centimetres while the inflorescent reach 18
centimetres. The flowers are pinkish to reddish.
As seen on
Soumen
Aditya's photos of
wild plants, the leaves vary in colouration.
