Default [IBC] Paliurus spina christi - Christ's thorn

I thought the Zisyphus spina Christi was the Jujube-tree.

That's an old and incorrect name for the plant. The RHS dictionary of plants does not even list it as a synonym of P. spina-christus. The common jujube is Z. jujuba. But it must be a pretty similar shrub.
