| Reviewer's comments: | | | | "This plant is definitely not a himalaya berry or a buckwheat!! I believe it in the Araliaceae. It resembles Oplopanax horridus (Devil's club).

| Action: changed name from "Unknown" to "Oplopanax horridus
" |
| Reviewer's comments: | | | | "After reading Mary Ann Showers' suggestion and comparing the image with the description of Oplopanax in Abrams, Illus. Flora Pacific States, Vol. III, page 215, and checking out several other images on other websites, I believe she is right. Note only are the leaf lobes, scarlet fruit and characters of the spines typical of this species, but the habitat and location given by the photographer are consistent with the literature. The genus is monotypic and is the only member of the Araliaceae in the Pacific States with simple leaves. Abrams calls it O. horridum, USDA plants database spells it with an "s" on the end.
