Agoho

/ˌɑːɡoʊˈhoʊ/ noun

Definition

A type of thorny shrub or small tree found in arid regions, particularly in the Caribbean and Central America.

Etymology

Likely from Spanish or a Caribbean indigenous language; the plant name traveled through trade routes and linguistic mixing of colonial encounters.

Kelly Says

The agoho thrives where other plants quit—it's basically the plant kingdom's tough survivor, dominating harsh, dry landscapes that would make most vegetation surrender immediately.
