Non tutti i capperi sono Capparis spinosa in senso stretto (Not every caper is Capparis spinosa sensu stricto)

Non tutti i capperi sono Capparis spinosa in senso stretto. Anzi, è verosimile che Capparis spinosa (sensu stricto) sia assente come pianta spontanea in gran parte del territorio italiano.
Il più delle volte le piante che si trovano crescere pendenti sui muri si identificano come Capparis orientalis (=Capparis spinosa subsp. rupestris var. rupestris sensu Fici 2015).

Not all capers are Capparis spinosa in the strict sense. Indeed, it is likely that Capparis spinosa (sensu stricto) is absent as a spontaneous plant in much of the Italian territory.
Almost always the plants that are found growing hanging on walls are to be identified as Capparis orientalis (= Capparis spinosa subsp. Rupestris var. Rupestris sensu Fici 2015).
