| Elaeagnus pungens,
an evergreen shrub inhabiting seashores or coastal area's forest
edges, grows to 2-3m 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 make pinched-in portions and follow to ovaries. The
outsides of the flowers have dense, scaly hairs and brown ones, and
the sepals are ovate-like triangular. Bloom time: October-November. |
