}}Asparagus acutifolius, common name wild asparagus, is an evergreen perennial plant belonging to the genus Asparagus. The specific epithet, {{lang|la|acutifolius}}, meaning "thorny leaves", is derived from Latin {{lang|la|acutus}} (pointed, acute), and {{lang|la|-folius}} (-leaved), and refers to the characteristic shape of the leaves, a quite common feature in the typical plants of the Mediterranean.[1] DescriptionAsparagus acutifolius reaches on average {{convert|30|-|70|cm}} of height. The stems have much-branched feathery foliage. The "leaves" are in fact needle-like modified stems. The flowers are bell-shaped and in small clusters, greenish-white to yellowish, {{convert|4.5|-|5.5|mm}} long. The flowers are dioecious (on each plant they are only male or female). In some Mediterranean regions flowering occurs in late Summer from August through September, often after heavy storms. In this case the small green berries, of {{convert|5|-|6|mm}} in diameter, are fully ripe in winter. GalleryDistributionThis species is present throughout the Mediterranean Basin. HabitatThese plants grow near woods and in uncultivated places, on dry and sunny soil. They can be found at an altitude of {{convert|0|-|1300|m}} above sea level.
