The Mouse Thorn

"Ruscus hypoglossum" is a small evergreen shrub with a native range from Italy north to Austria and Slovakia and east to Turkey and Crimea. Common names include spineless butcher's-broom, mouse thorn and horse tongue lily. The laurel crown of Caesar was made of "Ruscus hypoglossum". The species name comes from two Greek words "hypo" and "glossus" meaning "under" and "tongue".
