Damnacanthus indicus ssp. Indicus is an evergreen shrub, 20-60cm tall, that occurs in evergreen tree forests and is characterized by sharp thorns on its branches. The thorn is as long as the leaf or longer, making it easier to distinguish this subspecies from the others. The department alternatively arranges a large and a small pair of opposite leaves, bearing two white, funnel-shaped flowers at the axils.    D. indicus ssp. indicus matures in red in December. Bloom time: April-May.
