South France  imatotachi Oct 7, 2021 7:42 AM CST |
First time I've encountered this plant, I literally thought someone put plastic(!) weed in the forest as a joke. It's extremely hard and sharp, pierces the hand at the light touch. Height ~70cm. I've seen a few bunches in the nearby forest (south of France), dozen meters from each other.   |

| Perhaps a Ruscus species of some kind? |

Hi imatotachi,  to the site!I agree, that plant looks like"Butchers Broom" and there may be more than one type that grows in France but compare to Butcher's Broom (Ruscus aculeatus) ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |
