Capparaceae and Cleomaceae fortnight Cleomaceae, the cleome or spider-flower family *Crateva* sp. for ID
Dear friends, these sightings of caper plants in vicinity of creek at Vaghbil, Thane. Watching since 2007, they have remained seemingly with a stunted growth not rising beyond 2 - 3 metres, with chaotic branching. They must have been planted by village folks - because there is a very small temple nearby, dedicated to Lord Naga which gets thronged by entire village during Naga Panchami. I had seen its fruits very long back, regret to have not taken photos then. They were ovoid, not globose for sure. Please ignore the photos having been labelled as *Crateva religiosa*.
