Re: Paliurus spina-christi

Dear Christiana,
Thanks for the lovely photo...but it sure isn't the plant I need identified!  I definitely need to get a photo of it, although since I don't have immediate access to a scanner or digital camera it might take a while.   I'll check out the other suggestions in the meanwhile.  Thanks for helping out.  Karen

Dear Karen,
your description of the shrub leads not to Paliurus spina-christi. (The
tiny picture in Botanica and the short text there, Moira found, is not enough
for a profound distinction.) The fruit of the shrub, you mentioned, seems to
be a pod of the plant familiy member of the Leguminosae, probably
Gleditsia, or perhaps, even Robinia.
As attachment the image of the fruit of a real Crown of Thorns shrub (If
necessary, images of leaves and thorns are also available).
