Euphorbia Bupleurifolia

It has a brown, spherical barrel-shaped or columnar caudex that look alike a pinecone or a woody trunk. The stem which does not photosynthesize is a reserve for water, and usually does not grow much higher than around 20 cm and 7,5 cm thick. The trunk has a geometrically-neat tubercled surface, and is usually unbranched.
The leaves are deciduous and falling in the dry season, narrow or large, in tufts on the stems apex, up to 15 cm long, light green, making it look like a palm tree or a pineapple.
