Barleria Lupulina is also native to Mauritius, it grows in the wild in the northern part of the island in alkaline and dry places. Tend to be invasive but could be controlled without much difficulty. Very decorative foliage and even nice yellow flower, though it has (rather soft) thorns.Even the branches are very decorative redish-purple in colour. Here it flowers in the begining of winter which is april-may to aprox. september.
