So I was just wondering, could anybody help me identify this plant? It looks like passion flower, but I'm really not sure... Any help would be great :)

Doesnt look like passiflora at all to me but im certainly no expert. No idea what it could be. Why the particular interest in it, if I may ask? Can you share more or less your geographic location to help pinning down? Also other details on the plant, like is it a climbing vine, is it a bush, what kind of microclimate is it growing in, is it cultivated or wild, etc ?
 
Found it in my friends yard, was hoping it would be passion flower (the red kind, like different species) but I guess now that I've spec'd it out more it isn't... :/ haha just hopeful thinking I guess :) thanks
 
These flowers are growing all over S.A, normal sunny skies and warm temperatures on average about 24 degrees Celsius, growing naturally in a backyard. Its more like a tree than a bush... But not huge
 
i have no clue what that is, but it definitely is not a passiflora.
passifloras as a general rule have ten petaled flowers, and they have a pretty unique stamen
 
Passiflora is a vine, so no... it is not that.

Break a stem and see if there is a milky sap in it. Yes? it is a Euphorbia species. A wild form of the much cultivated Poinsetta group of plants.
