Still searching because this is unusual. I want to say the Tephrocactus family, but the green leaves are throwing me off.

My sister found it! It’s a Monadenium guentheri

Er, Tephrocactus with leaves does not compute. I’m on the fence if it is Euphorbia ritchiei or another, but Euphorbia (which is a succulent, but not a cactus) is where to start. Llifle dot com has a lot of photos.

Bam. Yeah, the Latin throws me when I have 0 idea why there are so many synonyms.
