Pyracantha, also known as firethorn, is an evergreen shrub in the rose family known for its showy clusters of berries in autumn and winter. The plant in the image is a type of firethorn with yellow-orange berries, which can be found in various cultivars of the species. Pyracantha is native to regions in southern Europe and Asia and is often cultivated as an ornamental plant for its bright fruits and thorny branches. 

Key facts about the plant:

• Appearance: Pyracantha plants have glossy green leaves and produce small white flowers in the spring. These flowers give way to clusters of berries that can be yellow, orange, or red and persist on the plant throughout the fall and winter. The stems and branches are covered in sharp spines.
• Toxicity: The berries are generally considered bitter and astringent, making them inedible for humans when raw. While the fruit is not considered poisonous, consuming large amounts can cause an upset stomach. The thorns, while not toxic, can cause skin irritation.
• Uses: Pyracantha is commonly used in landscaping as a dense, thorny hedge for security, or trained to grow on walls and fences as an espalier. The berries are a food source for birds, and the plant provides shelter for nesting
