One of our most unusual native plants. Spiny, dark green foliage, on upright stems, form small rounded, slow spreading shrubby clumps. Rather insignificant flowers, but nevertheless pretty and intriguing, appear in the middle of the leaves (which strictly speaking are cladodes, flattened stems), followed by plump red berries on female or hermaphrodite plants.
