Subshrub, spiny, evergreen, hermaphrodite, up to 75 cm in height, very ramose. Stems straight, tortuous, with brownish-grey bark. Branches extended-erect, often intricate, forming \u00b1 dense impenetrable thickets in areas across its range that are more humid. Branchlets with strong woody spines, both either alternate along the branchlet or at its apex. Leaves (3-20 \u00d7 0.2-0.6 mm), alternate, sessile, narrowly ovate to linear, acute and mucronate, glabrescent, sparse and small at the end of the branchlets, more abundant and larger towards the inside of the shrub.
