Elaeagnus
pungens, an evergreen shrub that inhabits seashores or
coastal areas' forest edges, grows to 2-3 meters in height. Branches
are solid and hard to break, young ones cover themselves with brown
lepidic hairs, and branchlets often change into 5-1.5mm-long
prickles. Axils generate pale yellow-brown flowers; calyx tubes are
4-7mm long, with four ridges, and form pinched-in portions that lead
to the ovaries. The outsides of the flowers have dense, scaly hairs
and brown ones, and the sepals are ovate-like and triangular. Bloom
time: October-November. |
