Title: RE: Euphorbia xylophiloides from the Canary Islands

Sean,

It does indeed look pretty cool. I looked it up in a couple of botanical databases (http://www.ipni.org/index.html & http://mobot.mobot.org/W3T/Search/vast.html) and it seems that it's E. xylophylloides and it's from Madagascar, not the Canary Islands. I just did a web search on "Euphorbia xylophylloides" and got 43 results, so I bet there's some useful stuff there.
