Summary The Australian form of the Capparis spinosa group, at present treated as var. nummularia (DC.) Bailey, has been studied through field and herbarium investigations. Cultivations away from the distribution range were also carried out to test the maintenance of diagnostic characters in this taxon. Based on the obtained data, coupled with phytogeographical considerations and comparisons with the variants widespread in other areas, for the Australian form the subspecific rank is here proposed. Its distribution and autecology are also discussed.
