Thistle
Thistle is the common name of a group of flowering plants characterized by leaves with sharp prickles on the margins, mostly in the family Asteraceae. Prickles can also occur all over the planton the stem and on the flat parts of the leaves. These prickles protect the plant from herbivores. Typically, an involucre with a clasping shape similar to a cup or urn subtends each of a thistle's flower heads. The typically feathery pappus of a ripe thistle flower is known as thistle-down. The spininess varies considerably by species. For example, ''Cirsium heterophyllum'' has very soft spines while '' Cirsium spinosissimum'' is the opposite. Typically, species adapted to dry environments are more spiny. The term thistle is sometimes taken to mean precisely those plants in the tribe Cardueae (synonym: Cynareae), especially the genera ''Carduus'', '' Cirsium'', and '' Onopordum''. However, plants outside this tribe are sometimes also called thistles. Biennial thistles are part ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
