Capparaceae and Cleomaceae Fortnight : Capparis For ID - Purple Plant : Oman : 040913 : AK-10

[Aarti S. Khale]

I found these small plants earlier this year in Muscat, purple in color growing on rocks which have been cut recently to make a road.

Have seen these only in a small patch of rocks, nowhere else.

As they grow, the leaves are slowly turning green.

Can our experts help me in identifying this species of caper?

This may also be of Capparis cartilaginea. Not sure but...

Capparis cartlaginea.

[J.M. Garg]

That was an earlier understanding. But it changed after publication of A taxonomic revision of the Capparis spinosa group (Capparaceae) from the Mediterraneanto Central Asia Phytotaxa 174 (1): 001–024 (2014) by SILVIO FICI. Pl. go through it. 

It is Capparis spinosa subsp. spinosa var. aegyptia and not Capparis spinosa subsp. cartilaginea as per latest publication A taxonomic revision of the Capparis spinosa group (Capparaceae) from the Mediterraneanto Central Asia Phytotaxa 174 (1): 001–024 (2014) by SILVIO FICI
