The lote tree

The Lote Tree of the Furthest Bound beside which is the Garden of Refuge, where the Night Journey reached its limit; in Paradise the lote is thornless, and when Sheba's people turned away God gave them in exchange for their two gardens gardens of bitter fruit, tamarisk and a few lote trees.
