what is the name of the bush which burned and spoke to Moses?

Question

what kind of plant was it?

Answer 1

There was no definite name, it was just referred to as "The Burning Bush"

Exodus 3:1-3

Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up.

So Moses thought, "I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up."

The bible doesn't mention what type of bush it was.

Exact identification of the particular kind of bush in which God appeared to Moses is impossible. Attempts have been made to identify it with the blackberry bush, as by the Septuagint and also by the monks of the Convent of Catharine on Mount Sinai who grow the blackberry there in token of their tradition.

The cassia has also been suggested. Both identifications are failures, the former because the blackberry does not grow in that region unless imported and tended, the latter for philological reasons. Nothing in the language used gives any clue to the species of the bush. The generally accepted view that it was some kind of thorn bush is an assumption with scarcely other ground than that there are so many thorny bushes in that region. This fact does, however, give to the assumption much probability

Answer 2

i have heard this explanation: u know that many plants that produce essential oils (those that smell beautifully or simply strongly. eg the Lamiaceae family and many others, they are particularly abundant in quantity and diversity in hot dry regions, llike Mediterranean and middle east and so on and biblical regions) can in very hot windless days be surrounded by a cloud of the evaporated essencial oils. these are generally flammable - just squirt some from a citrus peel against flame and u will see for yourself. so it may catch fire. the cloud burnd out in a split of a second so the fire is of course not enough to set the fire to the plant itself. In a hot days we tried getting a match near to to such bushes but no luck, but i live in temperate region so the conditions or the oil contents were not that extreme as it should be. especially i have heard the Dictamnus plant mentioned, but i am in fact not sure whether it grows in the right region.
but i would say it coud be just any half-dead bush from which the leaves only burned quickly and the branches didnot catch fire plus some "improvement" of the story over years. Anything could burn in a way that most of it is left.
