Euphorbia Ingens, otherwise known as the Cowboy Cactus or Candelabra Tree, is a species of flowering plant in the Euphorbiaceae family. It is a tall, columnar, tree-like cactus native to South Africa, known for its height - it can grow up to 40 feet tall - and its distinct green branches which resemble a candelabra.
