Seen at the BBC Show in Maharashtra Nature Park, Mumbai.

Kindly validate.

Yes, this is Euphorbia bergii A.C.White, R.A.Dyer & B.Sloane

Please note the specific epithet is bergii and not bergeri

This seems to be monadenium ritchie ssp. nymbayense in my opinion and not euphorbia bergii.

I am attaching a reference image of the above mentioned monadenium from my personal collection.

Can someone please share some information on the same.
