Thorned

Near-synonym: spined

A prickly bindweed (the Smilax Sarsaparilla) forms a feature in the near landscape, with its creamy odoriferous blossoms, coral berries, and glossy thorned leaves.

In these we always find that the thorned holly is spoken of as male, and the Ivy as female.

In its native form the branches of the honey locust are thorned and bear seed pods up to a foot long.
