Yes, and I see 2 other pictures in the same category:




E. candelabrum is a large, wider-stemmed monster tree from East Africa.

Perhaps @jmorth can give some feedback about the name so we can resolve this.

Usually my DB entries from a botanical garden are based on tags provided by them, The gardens in this case being Van der Veer, in Davenport Iowa and Washington Park in Springfield, Il.

Thank You! jmorth.

Regarding the original 3 images, I'd be curious to hear opinions from anyone else, but my inclination is to move them. It is interesting to hear 2 different bot gardens had the same ID for these plants, but there are several Euphorbias which are called "candelabra Euphorbias" and it appears those two words can easily morph into a species of Euphorbia just by switching their position, basically. If the plants were younger and smaller I might have imagined them as young seedlings of candelabrum, but like I said before that species is pretty seriously arborescent and the stems are fairly wide to support all that weight.

I'll give it awhile and then move them if no comments follow.

I am not at all familiar with Cacti & Succulent plants but the following look like what I've always seen sold as house plants with the name of Candelabra Plant (Euphorbia lactea)

Dont know about 'candelabra plant", it may be exclusive to lactea, but "candelabra tree" on the other hand...

I'll move them to Euphorbia lactea sometime soon.
