DefinitionShort: any kind of plant with sharp projections on its stem and/or branches; regarded as useless; symbol of hardship
Glosses: ['thorn plant', 'thistle', 'brier']
Comments: Since plants having thorny projections are almost worldwide in distribution, there is no difficulty in obtaining a satisfactory term for such plants. In some instances, however, a descriptive equivalent may be necessary, for example, ‘plants with piercing points’ or ‘plants that stick into one’s flesh.’
