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 <https://www.biotaxa.org/Phytotaxa/article/view/phytotaxa.174.1.1/9145> Phytotaxa 174 (1): 001–024 (2014) by SILVIO FICI. Pl. go through it.
It is *Capparis spinosa* subsp. *spinosa* var. *aegyptia* <https://efloraofindia.com/2012/08/09/capparis-spinosa-subsp-spinosa-var-aegyptia/> and not Capparis spinosa subsp. cartilaginea <https://efloraofindia.com/2018/08/30/capparis-spinosa-subsp-cartilaginea/> as per latest publication A taxonomic revision of the Capparis spinosa group (Capparaceae) from the Mediterraneanto Central Asia <https://www.biotaxa.org/Phytotaxa/article/view/phytotaxa.174.1.1/9145> Phytotaxa 174 (1): 001–024 (2014) by SILVIO FICI On Sun, 17 Jan 2021 at 18:49, Aarti S.
