Looking for a tree with thorns. I only got results for chorisia/ceiba speciosa and honey locust which are not what I'm looking for. I saw this tree on a hike this w-e (I live in northern Taiwan). The trees were on the outskirts of the forest, were not very tall, 3-4 meters tops, and the trunks were about 6 to 10cm in diameter. The most striking thing about these trees is that their trunks are covered with nipple shaped thorns. The branches are few and mostly on the top of the trees. The leaves are multiple, about a dozen foliae per leaf, set 2x2 (not alternating). I have some pictures, but I don't know how to post them here. It would be great if someone could help me identify this tree.
