Rubus ulmifolius subsp. sanctus, also known as holy bramble,  has a long lifespan, and there is a particular instance of it located in the Chapel of the Burning Bush on Mount Sinai. This specific plant is considered to be the original burning bush mentioned in the Bible, further enhancing its significance both culturally and religiously. Because of this special location and the plant’s endurance, it was given the Latin name ‘sanctus’ meaning ‘holy’.
