Asparagus capensis

국표에 없다.

Asparagus capensis, also called katdoring (from the Afrikaans for 'cat-thorn') is a dense, thorny, shrub of the Asparagus genus, that is indigenous to South Africa and Namibia.

This species of asparagus grows as a thorny bush, to a height of 1 metre. Stems are erect, often zig-zagged, and the stems and branches end in spines.

Each branch has many whorls of spreading shoots around it, making it bottle-brush shaped, and each shoot is tightly packed with tiny leaves.

The grey-green leaves are small (3-5mm), velvety, needle-shaped and often appear in sets of five.

The spines at the branch-nodes usually appear in sets of three - a longer central spine (max.30mm) and two lateral spines.

The tiny, white, strongly scented flowers are sessile (without stalks), and they appear from autumn to spring.
