Botanical Name: Psorothamnus Spinosus
Common Names: Smoke Tree, Smokethorn
Alternate Botanical Names: Dalea Spinosa
Visual Characteristics: Freaquently occuring alongside Larrea Tridentata, Senegalia Greggii parkinsonia species, and other 29 Palms desert denizens. Young plants appear as small grey spiny growths, acconpanied by few, small, leaf like sprouts. Specimens who mature to tree like status will have portions of their protuberances awash with a grey or brown color, giving weight to its common name. Often times the arid region plays a truly transformative role in the plants morphology, with dryness relegating it to appear as an erect set of dead branches. Mousture will render beautiful purple flowers proliferating from pointy branch tips.

Use by Indigenous Cultures: Although scholarly articles on smoketrees benefit to traditional desert people seem to be elusive, There are numerous accounts of similar plants being utilized. If species of Parkinsonia [Palo Verde] Chilopsis [Desert Willow] and Prosopis [Mesquite] were included, imagine the like kind uses found for Prorothamnus Spinosis.
