Here are two different views. It has really leafed out this past week. Watering on Tuesday might have helped. I don't know what species it is but I guessing it is one of the more common species. We got the plant in Phoenix, probably about 15 years ago. We were looking for an ocotillo and the nursery man suggested this instead. It is growing better than my ocotillo. (I also have a pachypodium that give no water in the winter. Those Madagascar spiny forest plants don't seem to take winter water.)
