Succulent ID

Post by Ospreywatcher »

I purchased this plant labelled E.globosa from Dobbies today but after checking the Bihrmann site I realised it is nothing like the plant it is said to be. This was only one of many similarly labelled identical plants. Now looking for an ID for it

Into all sorts of exotic plants but with only having a conservatory I prefer to buy small young plants and miniature cacti.

After a little more research I think it may be E.suzannae, I can understand an individual plant having the wrong tag but not a whole batch!

Euphorbia pseudoglobosa is commonly sold as globosa. It could be a hybrid with E. susannae if it doesn't look quite like it.

Thanks Kathy, I think you are correct suggesting it may be a hybrid.
