Hi, Tabish ji, Capparis cartilaginea Decne. has been mentioned in Flora of Pakistan <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=250063260>, POWO <http://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:327918-2> and Catalogue of Life (which is based on most latest taxonomic accounts) with distribution in West Pakistan, W. Indian Ocean and Gujrat respectively.
A taxonomic revision of the Capparis spinosa group (Capparaceae) from the Mediterranean to Central Asia <http://www.mapress.com/phytotaxa/content/2014/f/pt00174p024.pdf> Phytotaxa 174 (1): 001–024 (2014) by SILVIO FICI states that material collected in rocky habitats east of Rhadamès (*Largeau 41*), belongs to this variety (i.e. *Capparis spinosa subsp. rupestris var. myrtifolia *(Inocencio, D. Rivera, Obón & Alcaraz) Fici, *comb. et stat. nov*.). This specimen was erroneously referred to *C. galeata *Fresenius [= *C. spinosa *subsp*. cartilaginea *(Decne.) Maire & Weiller] by Durand & Barratte (1910); records of the latter taxon in Libya and other areas of northern Africa appear doubtful and are probably due to confusion with *C. spinosa *subsp. *rupestris *(Jafri 1977). Thus the same species i.e. *C. spinosa *subsp*. cartilaginea *(Decne.) Maire & Weiller and information has been relied upon to call our plant in Gujrat and Pakistan as per Capparis cartilaginea Decne. Silvio Fici has covered the whole Cappris spinosa group and as our plant posted by Pravin ji and other similar observations from Gujrat, matches best with *Capparis spinosa* subsp. *spinosa* var. *aegyptia* (Lam.) Boissier <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/c/capparaceae/capparis/capparis-cartilaginea> as per details and keys in the taxonomic revision. On searching I found that no specimen has been examined by him from Gujrat.
