*Capparis* sp. at Jijabai Udyan ... must admit that my ID at http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/2369722495/in/photostream/ is based on Google and flickr photo-search results. At FOI we have Aarti ji's photo of the plant found in the same garden ... and it could be the same that me and Shrikant ji have found.
While arriving to ID of *Capparis rheedii*, had not given a thought to *C. brevispina*, because it is found mentioned as a synonym of *C. zeylanica*... ... hopefully my plant gets validated too.
