The Devil’s Walkingstick

Aralia spinosa, commonly known as Devil’s Walkingstick, is a woody species of plants in the genus Aralia, family Araliaceae, native to eastern North America. The various names refer to the viciously sharp, spiny stems, petioles, and even leaf midribs. It has also been known as Angelica-tree. - Wikipedia

This photo was taken on our last camping trip at Petit Jean State Park, Arkansas, on Seven Hollows Trail.

Now that is one tree I would not like to walk into.

You have some cool pics Mike. Do you have some of them on a flickr account?

Wow Mike I just came back to see if you replied about the pics and I typed in your URL instead of using the reader. Have you always had that cool picture on the front, but I don’t see if with coming straight to the blog?

It’s been there for a while, but not forever. The photo was taken from inside the visitor’s center at Arches National Park.
