Acanthus montanus, also known as bear's breech, mountain thistle, or ogwu ahga (in Agbani, Enugu State, Nigeria), is a perennial with few branches that bears basal clusters of glossy, dark-green, oblong to lance-shaped leaves that can grow up to 12 inches (30 cm) long.  

The leaves have wavy borders, thorns, and silver markings on them. It is approximately 24 inches (61 cm) wide and up to 6 feet (1.8 m) tall. From summer to fall, spikes of pale pink blooms are seen.  

It tolerates sunny, dry conditions as well as periodic heavy watering in shady environments. This plant thrives on slopes thanks to its robust roots. It is indigenous to western african tropical regions.
