Goutystalk Nettlespurge

You were close Alice, it was definitely in the Jatropha genus. And the flowers do look similar, but the swollen stem at the bottom of the plant and the leaves give it away. Thanks for your help though, I wouldn't have figured it out otherwise!

Alice, I researched Jatropha multifida, but the leaves for that plant are radically different from these ones. This specimen is not full grown, but I wouldn't expect the leaves to be as drastically different if it was the same species. I've added another picture of the structure the plant grows from--maybe that will help.
