    Hi guys,

    Just looking to ID a bush that I am allergic to (break out in a rash/blisters upon touching it).

    Please see the attached photo, but below are some more details:

    - Quite rough and prickly to touch the leaves and stems.
    - Smells similar to pumpkin leaves.
    - Grows from a larger stump in the ground that has been chopped of at ground level in the past.
    - Grows in clay.

    Any help would be much appreciated, as I want to know what I'm allergic to!

    Cheers.
