Rhigozum trichotomum is a shrub that is native from Angola to South Africa.

[2] It is a woody perennial shrub that grows 1–2 m tall with thorny twigs that often branch in threes.

This indicates poor land management, and can maks the soil prone to erosion.

It occurs in areas with rainfall of 50–350 mm per year.
