Very handsome plants, well fitted for shrub- 

 beries. The fruit of P. aculedtus is very sin- 

 gular, appearing something like a head with a 

 broad-brimmed 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 in- 

 creased by layers, cuttings of the roots, or 

 seeds. Synonymes : 1, P. australis ; 2, Zizy- 

 phus inc&rvus.
