Capparis orientalis Vieillard 1800 (Brassicales Capparaceæ)

Illustration for a comparative ecophylogenetic analysis of local myrmecofaunas, based on r/K selection theory and intra / interspecific parabiosis / lestobiosis, particularly focused on allochthonous and invasive species.

 

[Capparis Tournefort ex Linnæus 1753: 144 (IT: 4) spp]

 

Conspecific sympatric concurrent specimens, lateral habitus.

 

Different flavonoids were identified in Capparis spinosa Linnæus 1753: rutin (quercetin 3-rutinoside), quercetin 7-rutinoside, quercetin 3-glucoside-7-rhamnoside, kaempferol 3-rutinoside, astragalin and kæmpferol 3-rhamnorutinoside. C. spinosa contains more quercetin per weight than any other plant. Se is present in C. spinosa @ high concentrations in comparison with other vegetable products.
