From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Crown of thorns       our Lord was crowned with a, in mockery by the Romans (Matt.       27:29). The object of Pilate's guard in doing this was probably       to insult, and not specially to inflict pain. There is nothing       to show that the shrub thus used was, as has been supposed, the       spina Christi, which could have been easily woven into a wreath.       It was probably the thorny nabk, which grew abundantly round       about Jerusalem, and whose flexible, pliant, and round branches       could easily be platted into the form of a crown. (See THORN       ¯T0003642, 3.)
