'''Trikantajata''' is a much-branched, spiny, evergreen shrub growing from 0.5 - 3 metres tall. Usually erect with arching branches, the plant sometimes adopts a more climbing habit. The spines are axillary, in pairs up to 4cm long. The plant is harvested from the wild mainly for local use as a medicine.
