Being familiar with *Capparis zeylanica *... some views from various locations around Thane in my photostream ... http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Cappariszeylanica&w=91314344%40N00&m=tags **Now, it becomes difficult for me to think that the plant posted is *Capparis brevispina* (because it is synonym of *Capparis zeylanica*). OR am mistaking somewhere.
Shrikant ji, are there some features in the plant posted, which you think are not in favour of *C. rheedii* ? Regards. Dinesh.
