Linn. 6, Or, 1, Nat. Or. Rhamnacece. Very handsome
plants, well fitted for shrubberies. The fruit
of P. aculeatus is very singular, appearing something
like a head with a broad-bnmmed hat on.
This is the shrub of which it is by many persons
supposed the crown of thorns which was put on our
Saviour's head was made; and this assertion is
borne out by many travellers of credit, who say
that it is one of the most common shrubs in the
country of Judaea, and from the pliability of its
branches, which may be brought into any figure,
it may afford a probability. They will grow in
any common soil, and may be increased by layers,
cuttings of the roots, or seeds. Synonymes: 1. P,
