Oplopanax horridus (Devil's Club)

Oplopanax horridus, commonly known as Devil's Club, is a deciduous shrub that is native to the forests of western North America. It is characterized by its large, palmate leaves with sharp thorns covering the stems, giving it a menacing appearance. The plant produces clusters of small white flowers in the spring, followed by red berries in the fall. Devil's Club is an important medicinal plant for indigenous peoples, and its bark and roots have been used for various health remedies.
