Definition: The word "aillanthuses" refers to a type of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, commonly known as the blackberry or mulberry bushes. These plants are native to southern Africa but can be found all over the world, growing in woodland areas and on rocky slopes. Aillanthus species (also called "blackberry trees") have smooth bark, rough hairs, and small, oval leaves with flat tips. The flowers, known as 'aillanthuses', are produced singly or clustered together in clusters at the base of a large, dark-brown trunk. Each bloom is surrounded by a cluster of creamy-white, egg-shaped flowers. Aillanthus species have been cultivated for thousands of years and are grown commercially. They are commonly used in folk medicine to treat various ailments, such as colds, fevers, and coughs, as well as for their medicinal properties (like anti-inflammatory effects and stimulating the immune system). In the KJV, "aillanthuses" is defined as "the blackberry or mulberry bushes," suggesting it refers to a specific type of plant. This term appears in the context of describing these trees in the Bible, which likely includes verses from the Old Testament.
