Well that didn't take much guessing Ralph got it right, I thought it was unusual and I have never tried grafting using abdelkuri as stock but 'fingers crossed ' it has worked.

Re: can you identify this ?
Its taken me 3 years to get the courage to graft it, the hardest bit is cutting euphorbia abdelkuri, not common and it has very tough dermis, I knew the stay sharp fish filleting knife would come in useful. its a good job the family don't know what I get up to.
It does seem to be very rare as I have only seen the one plant.
