Narrative
Full name as recorded at U.S. National Arboretum: Ruscus aculeatus. Plant donated to USNA after the 2023 FONA Plant Sale; any prior sources are unknown at the time of accessioning, and the plant has only a handwritten plastic tag in its pot identifying its common name, and no marks identifying the source. The plant was almost certainly donated to FONA from a 2023 Mid-Atlantic Nursery Trade Show booth.
