Vachellia sphaerocephala (bull's horn thorn or bee wattle) is a plant of the family Fabaceae. The name comes from the shape of the thorns which do indeed resemble the horns of a bull. The tree has a strong, symbiotic relationship with a species of stinging ant, Pseudomyrmex ferruginea.[2] This tree is endemic to Mexico.[3]
