I don't know what kind of tree this is, it was at a botanical garden. This specimen wasn't identified with a sign like the rest. At least when I stepped on it I didn't get an infection :)

I don't know if it's what's pictured, but in Florida you probably got caught on a "crown of thorns"...it has gorgeous flowers which sometimes hide the thorns...every time I see it I'm faked out and want to buy it...then I get closer and realize what it is... better than a fence to keep out the bad guys! Beautiful close up shot...looks like a dinosaur in the thumbnails! AngelaJ

Richard - I bumped into this tree (well, not the same one), while spending some time in Florida, and ended up with a badly infected and swollen arm. It's such an interesting tree, do you know what it is? Bev
