Notes
Stem of young shrubs growing in an inclined position, branches spreading. The spines become teat-like through secondary growth (cf. ).
Form, size, and venation of the leaves are variable. Often a pair of arcuate side-nerves shortly above the base are nearly as strong as the midrib; such 3-nerved forms have been named C. zizyph(folia. The flowers are fairly uniform, but the fruits vary in size and form (sometimes more globular).
