Looks like E. dentata may be a good match. I will email our state botanist to be sure. Thanks!

Looks like a strikingly red colored version of E. dentata. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7197062

What a flamboyant plant! Well definitely a Euphorb but photos of E. cyathaphora showing lots of red, anyway, are seemingly hard to come by!
