As I stood in front of the bush that burned in Exodus 3:2 but was consumed not, a voice shouted loudly to make itself heard. It was the guide. And he spake unto me (and my tour group), and said, "That is the holy burning bush. It grows nowhere else on the Sinai Peninsula. All attempts to grow cuttings elsewhere have failed!"

"What species is it?" I asked him.

"It's the holy burning bush species," he responded looking piqued.
