Dear Yogesh,
Excellent Photograph indeed!!
I agree with Stephan it could be a species of Capparis belonging to Capparaceae.
I think your plant is similar to Capparis cartilaginea which i collected.Find one of the photographs showing the habit of the plant taken by me.
Without the floral details it is difficult to confirm the identification.
Good luck!
Hi Yogesh It looks like capparis diversifolia,(cappridaceae) please check with flora, If the plant has Zigzag branches let me know
The plant seems succulent xerophyte of Euphorbiaceae or Crassulaceae family
I agree to Silvia Radice. Probably the plant is Simmondsia chinensis of Simmondsiaceae family. It is economically important plant species cultivated in Gujarat for jojoba oil obtained from seeds. The plant is native of Mexico.
Yogesh may be some other plant species because Simmondesia chinensis has opposite pyllotaxy. The plant which you have shown has alternate pyllotaxy but it is very close to Simmondsia chinensis in other characters.
May be Capparis cartilaginea which is a small scrubby tree found spreading on rock surfaces but it produces red fruits.
I agree with previous suggestions: Most likely it is Capparis cartilaginea, but Yogesh should ait for the unmistakable flowers and fruits
@ Dr. Yogesh Patel,
Could you please tell me its flowering season ?? when you collected this plant ? what is flowering season?@ Yogesh Patel
Thank you
All characters visible in the photographs are in favour of Capparis cartilaginea: Habit (dropping down from a cliff), shape and size of leaves, stipular thorns and shape of fruit.
With kind regards
Helmut Freitag
