The Claing bush was a type of thorny, flowering bush native to Nierport VII, one of seven moons orbiting the planet Eeropha.
Blooming only during a month-long summer, the wild bush produced violet flowers and a type of berry that could be pressed to make claing juice. Its massive thorns—well over a meter long—were a deep red in color, and grew tall from the trunk.
Senator Sano Sauro of Eeropha prized the claing-bush thorns as emblems not only of his planet, but also of his protégé, Granta Omega, a native of the planet's moon. Four of the tall red thorns rose from the corners of Sauro's long but low Senate office desk. And, upon Palpatine's appointment of Sauro to the position of Deputy Chancellor (done to keep this arch-enemy of the Supreme Chancellor close, and on a leash), in a temporary garden in the exterior courtyard outside the Galactic Senate complex, twin horns of the bloodred bush could be seen towering above the exotic flowers there.
