Mystery thorn tree
Gene Royer writes
I doubt that jocularity was the intent, but it does seem a daunting challenge. Here in the Southland of the United States, we encounter a tree that is referred to in the local vernacular as a "Thorny Locust". Wotever its real name is unknown to me. Stewart Robert Hinsley schreef May be the Honey-Locust, Gleditsia triacanthos. (But I don't know whether any of the other species of this genus occur in North America.) There is a spineless cultivar, G. t. 'Inermis'. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley + + + A quick browse suggests that location may be important, perhaps it is Gleditsia in the Southeast, but http://medplant.nmsu.edu/robinia_neomexicana.htm in the Southwest? Vernacular names are worse than useless PvR |
