Good work Susan. I agree. I'm glad we were finally able to ID this one!
i checked Dorstenia bahiensis and I think that is it what do you think?
Susan, I finally had a talk with my friend. I was a bit wrong. It's a Dorstenia. He has one that looks similar and it's D. hildebrandtii, but I'm not sure if this is yours. Maybe try searching images of Dorstenia. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.plantbiology.northwestern.edu/Zerega/Dorstenia.JPG&imgrefurl=http://www.plantbiology.northwestern.edu/Zerega/zerega1.html&usg=__NhdYt9PpMyAfQmZLuF82YI6G_FM=&h=693&w=653&sz=191&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=3fuuCh8uuyTW-M:&tbnh=171&tbnw=167&ei=n-MVTr63BOrmsQLn8IhT&prev=/search%3Fq%3Ddorstenia%2Bhildebrandtii%26hl%3Den%26gbv%3D2%26biw%3D1276%26bih%3D680%26tbm%3Disch&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=623&vpy=125&dur=616&hovh=231&hovw=218&tx=83&ty=143&page=1&ndsp=17&ved=1t:429,r:3,s:0
Yes, you are. However this week I've been working in a different area of the park all week, which is unusual. Next week I'm back in my area and should have an answer. Please try me again next week.
Heh Dan...I think I am suppose to remind you on this ID??
he was on vacation all last week. hopefully this week. keep reminding me! thanks.
heh Dan...are you able to get hold of your friend for this ID?
I'm not surprised, Euphorbia is a huge genus of plants. I'll try and find him in the next few days and solve this ID.
I google it and does not seem to find one that looks like this one...I will wait for the expert when you confront him/her, how's that?
I checked at work today. The greenhouse expert wasn't there but the tag in the plant said Euphorbia sp. I hoping he actually knows what species it is.
I know these Susan. We grow them in the greenhouse at my work. The name is escaping me right now though. If no one ID's them by Monday, I will check at work and get back to you.
