There is a legend among the In
dian and Mexican population that
Holacantha emoryi was the thorn
used for the crown at the time of
the crucifixion. While the legend
is very beautiful, 1t does not refer
to this particular plant. The plant
that was supposed to have been
used in the crucifixion was the
Crown of Thorns. and its botanical
name is Euphorbia splendens.

Thus we find plants in both coun-

away entirely with their leaves.
One of the Southern Arizona
plants that has discarded its
leaves entirely is the Crucifixion

cantha emoryi. It's distribution is

southeastern California and south
western Arizona. In the Casa
