Also called Devil’s walking stick and for good reason…the plant is covered with sharp spiny thorns. Also called Echinopanax horridum. It is in the Araliaceae (or Aralia) family and very closely related to Ginsing. The berries are poisonous but have been used to kill lice by mashing them up and applying the paste to the hair. This also treats dandruff and makes the hair shiny.
