Sun filtered through leaves of devil's club in forest. Devil's club or devil's walking stick is a large understory shrub endemic to the arboreal rainforests of the pacific northwest, and noted for its large palmate leaves and erect, woody stems covered in noxious and irritating spines. It is also known as Alaskan ginseng and a widely used medicinal plant to the people who live within its range. (Family: araliaceae; binomial name: oplopanax horridus).
