An erect to semi-pendant small shrub with fleshy, yellow-green, pointed oval leaves, resembling a caper plant but without spines, typically found on ledges, walls or other sites protected from browsing; widespread but very rare. After its collection by Aucher-Eloy in the Jebel Akhdar in 1837, it was not recorded again until the 1990s, when it was photographed at several sites in the UAE and northernmost Oman. Two specimens have been found within WWNP. The first was a historical record from upper Wadi Siji, in the WWNP buffer zone, but in the course of the survey a specimen was found in upper Wadi Zikt, anomalously situated in the gravel wadi bed.
