What type of plant is it? Unique houseplant?

Question

I got a plant as a gift. It is odd. It requires medium light and just to be kept moist. That is all it said on the tag along with unique houseplant. It looks like a baked potato standing upright with 4 stems? growing out the top with one leaf on each one. The base (the potato part) has some circles on it

Help i know it is a weird description and I've tried to find it on the internet with no luck. Thanks.

Answer 2

It could be Tuberous Pachypodium.

The bark is colored pale grey and is sometimes shiny. It has a smooth texture. The bark is about 2 to 4 mm thick, with the wood being greenish. The "branches" or, better said, nodes of rosettes of leaves, when fresh, have paired, rather soft, curved spines at their apices, measuring 2 to 9 mm long by 1 to 1.5 mm at the base. They are pale grey to pale brown. When young, they are pubescent and more or less flat.
