Seen growing in the prairie of New Mexico. Looks like a solanaceous
plant. It is not the common "Thorn Apple", but possibly a less
domesticated variety. The plant is sprawling and about 5 feet high with
spiny seed pods:

Try either _Datura ferox_ or _D. quercifolia_ , other
[Chinese origin?] species of "Thorn Apple"
