Paliuris spina-christi

Is anyone familiar with the Crown of Thorns shrub?  There  is a wild specimen
growing near here which is over 10 feet tall, bald of leaves, and has huge thorns up
to 3 1/2" long.  The widely-spaced branches are woody and flexible, and there is a
long leathery seed pod attached to one of them.  Is this the Paliuris spina-christi
or another species?
Thanks, Karen, Athens
