Capparis divaricata:
Came across this throny shrub at the outskirts of Pune (Kondwa). Bot. name: Capparis divaricata – Oh what a beauty. A new location found I was not knowing that. One of the trees of this species is present in the Morgaon Ganapati complex near Baramati. Capparaceae for identification 200412MK03: Adding more pictures of the same plant in different location.
Location: Bommiampatty RF; Salem dist., TN Altitude: 460 M ASL Date: 14 Apr 2012 Google Doc Capparis divaricata, I think. Are these flowers of Capparis divaricata? The leaf morphology is similar to that of C.divaricata. Thank you very much … sir; but I imagine the leaves are more linear in C.divaricata. The flowers were taken the previous day (13 Apr 2012) but in a different location of 300 metres away. Time of photography: 02:45 PM I agree with … All the images belong to Capparis divaricata. Since it is highly variable species and the leaf shape varies from linear, lanceolate, elliptic-lanceolate (for more details kindly refer Jacob’s revision on Capparis ) Date/Time- 2ndSept 2012
Location-Mayureshwar Sanctuary, Supa, (District. Pune) Habitat- Wild, dry deciduous scrub forest. Plant Habit- Shrub Height/Length- Leaves Type/ Shape/ Size- Simple, alternate, with two stipular spines. Inflorescence Type/ Size- Not seen Flowers Size/ Colour/ Calyx/ Bracts- — Fruits Type/ Shape/ Size Seeds- Other Information like Fragrance, Pollinator, Uses etc.- Birds like to eat the fruit as told by our guide. It is Capparis species, probably C. divaricata (?). Yes this is Capparis divaricata.

Capparis divaricata with a red gynophore : Attachments (1). 6 posts by 5 authors.
I wish to share Capparis divaricata Lam. with an unusual red gynophore. Very beautiful … gynophore as well as size of pistil is unique.. Nice picture, …!
I think the change in color indicates that the flower is pollinated. In case of Capparis zeylanica the white/creamy flowers turn (entirely) to pink or purple, as we commonly see.
Thank you for the comments, Thanks … for your opinion.
I rechecked my pictures of the same species and found that some are with red and some with yellow gynophore. Interesting findings!
