Cacti & Succulents

Pachypodium sp. ID Please

11 years ago

Hello all,
I'm new to these forums but have been using this site for help with other plants. But that's beside the point...
I went to Lowes and purchased a succulent that had no name. It was grown at Costa farms in Miami, FL.
To me it looks like a species of Pachypodium, but I'm am not sure what it is.
If anyone could help me identify this down to species that would be awesome!
Thanks.

P.saundersi ?..or just a really young P.lamerei?

It is very similar to Adenium obesum, but there are spines on it, so it seems unlickely

Not an adenium, im pretty sure its a pachypodium. most likely not lamerei as my seedlings already have a very spine base.
I agree with P. saundersii. the leaves look very similar to mine.
