Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary:

Bramble
   (1.) Hebrew _atad_, Judg. 9:14; rendered "thorn," Ps. 58:9. The
   LXX. and Vulgate render by rhamnus, a thorny shrub common in
   Palestine, resembling the hawthorn.

     (2.) Hebrew _hoah_, Isa. 34:13 (R.V. "thistles"); "thickets"
   in 1 Sam. 13:6; "thistles" in 2 Kings 14:9, 2 Chr. 25:18, Job
   31:40; "thorns" in 2 Chr. 33:11, Cant. 2:2, Hos. 9:6. The word
   may be regarded as denoting the common thistle, of which there
   are many species which encumber the corn-fields of Palestine.
   (See THORNS.)
