Lycium horridum, Thunb. Erect, spiny, much-branched shrub, to 3 ft., glabrous: lvs. sessile, spatulate, glabrous, about ¼ in- long: fls. short-pedicelled, small, whitish, with rather slender tube and 3-4-lobed limb. S. Afr.— It is not certain whether the plant in the trade is the true L. horridum of Thunberg described above, or L. afrum, which is much used in S. Afr. for hedges; the latter is easily distinguished by its large purple fls.
