description_en: Genus of about 15 species of spiny, deciduous shrubs and small trees from Australia, New Zealand, and temperate South America, found in rocky places and scrub, and closely allied to Colletia. They produce opposite or clustered, mainly elliptic to obovate or oblong leaves, opposite pairs of spines on stiff or flexuous branches, and star- or bell-shaped flowers, often with petals absent. Discaria species are grown for their numerous thick spines and their abundant, densely clustered flowers. In warm climates, they are suitable for an open shrub border; in cooler conditions, they grow best at the base of a warm, sunny, sheltered wall.
