Euphorbia antiquorum
A tall, branching succulent with three- or four-angled spiny green stems, widespread across peninsular India, Sri Lanka and mainland Southeast Asia, where it is also much planted as a hedge. It is a warm-growing, sun-loving plant that wants heat all year, generous water in summer and a drier, mild winter.
Where it grows wild
Dry deciduous scrub, rocky slopes and open ground in the seasonally dry tropics; it is also common around villages and field edges, so its exact wild habitat is hard to separate from planted stands.
Few records carry an elevation; the measured sites run from sea level to about 760 m in southern India.
