On the highest peaks of Socotra you’ll find magnificent deciduous trees like this Euphorbia socotrana. Some were finished shedding leaves whilst others were in yellows or reds like the temperate autumns.
I was definitely entering their very last moments before the season of rest, so this is perhaps more a developing fruit than that of a flower.
It is endemic to Socotra.
