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. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture. It may be out of date, but still contains valuable and interesting information which can be incorporated into the remainder of the article. Click on "Collapse" in the header to hide this text.
