I don`t know this plant, but wondered if it might be Euphorbia tirucalli ??http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3024051.stm

Thanks Tetters. Looks similar.

 

[Tess]

It looks like wild fennel or field fennel.

 

[Tetters]

Wild fennel grows all over the place here. It is much finer and softer.

 

[Tess]

Ya, I agree. It is softer and finer.

 

[Tess]

Here's a house plant that I have. I can guess what it is, but I'm not certain. Does anyone know?

 

[Tetters]

Not sure, it looks like Pachira aquatica to me

 

[Tess]

I agree! It does. My friend thinks it's called a money tree!

 

[Tetters]

Yes, it has that common name because of the palmate leaves which resemble (so they say) an outstretched hand which catches all of the money.

 

[Tess]

I hope it catches some for me!

 

[Tetters]

It`s related to the Baobab tree

Looks similar to my rhipsalis baccofera

 

[Tetters]

Yes it does, and many Euphorbias can be mistaken for members of the Cactus family. Your Rhipsalis is a member of that Cactus family, and will show areoles as all cactus do. If the OP`s plant is a Rhipsalis it too will have areoles ..........

.....if not it will more likely be a Euphorbia.

What's the name of this plant? Thanks.

The branching pattern and stem colour of the plant shown in the OP looks very much like Euphorbia mauritanica, though I would like to see the plant's flowers and cyathia (specialized inflorescences) for a more definite identification.
