Damnacanthus indicus ssp. indicus / Aridooshi アリドオシ

 　
Damnacanthus indicus ssp. indicus is an ever-green, 20-60cm in height shrub occurring in ever-green-tree forests, with sharp thorns on the branches. The thorn is as long as the leaf length or measuring longer, making it easier to distinguish it from the other subspecies. The department arranges a large and a small pair of opposite leaves alternatively and bears two white, funnel-shaped flowers at the axils. D. indicus ssp. indicus ssp. indicus matures in red in December. Bloom time: April-May.
