Euphorbia phosphorea Martius
E. phosphorea is the "Cumaña", a succulent, leafless shrub from Brazil. The name comes from the belief that the plant "glowed" in the night, but sorry, the plant itself doesn't; it was an insect which was present on the plant. However, it's interesting in it's own right, providing upright structural interest in a succulent "bonsai" arrangement.
