Butcher's Broom (Ruscus Aculeatus)

Butcher's broom, whose botanical name is ruscus aculeatus, is an evergreen, low-dwelling Eurasian shrub with flat buds that look like stiff, thorny leaves.

This plant can be found growing in deep shade-tolerant woods, hedgerows, and on coastal cliffs.

In Europe, this species is traditionally harvested for its flat, stiff branches, which make small brooms used to clean cutting blocks.
