Name That Plant!

Possible succulent plant

13 years ago

(please ignore the Jade plant that is currently sharing space with the plant I'm trying to identify) I bought this plant at a Cactus and Succulent show at the Missouri Botanical Gardens in 2005. It is currently 5" tall with large fuzzy leaves. Any information on what it might be would be great! Thanks!

Pachypodium?

But it doesn't look to be spiny at all. The leaves have got me, look more like a brugs transplanted on top of the trunk of a non-spiky caudiform euphorbia. Very strange.
Have you tried posting in the cacti/succulent forum?

Not all Pachypodium have spines, but I don't think that is what this is, either... I agree with cross-posting to Cacti and Succulent forum....they should be able to figure this out.

There are many variations on growth habit for caudiciforms...sometimes it is extremely difficult to ID.

If anyone can, they can! And I am dying to know!
