'''''Koeberlinia spinosa''''' is a species of [[flowering plant]] native to the [[southwestern United States]] and northern [[Mexico]] known by several common names, including '''Crown of Thorns''', '''Allthorn''', and '''Crucifixion Thorn'''. It is the sole species of the [[Monotype (biology)|monotypic]] genus '''''Koeberlinia''''', which is sometimes considered to be the only genus in the plant family '''Koeberliniaceae'''. Alternately it is treated as a member of the [[Capparaceae|caper family]]. This is a [[shrub]] of moderate to large size, sprawling to maximum heights over {{convert|4|m|ft|abbr=on}}. It is entirely green while growing and is made up of tangling straight stems which branch many times. The tip of each rigid stem branch tapers into a long, sharp spine. Leaves are mainly rudimentary, taking the form of tiny deciduous scales. Most of the [[photosynthesis]] occurs in the green stem branches. The shrub blooms abundantly in white to greenish-white [[flower]]s. The [[fruit]]s are shiny black [[Berry|berries]] each a few millimeters long; they are attractive to birds.

''Koeberlinia spinosa'' can be found in northern regions of the [[Mexican Plateau]] and in the east down into the northern foothills of the [[Sierra Madre Oriental]]s. In the west it ranges into the southern, and central [[Sonoran Desert]] of [[Sonora]], and southern and southwestern [[Arizona]]; it also ranges into three areas of [[Baja California Sur]]-(part of the Sonoran Desert).<ref>Little.
