| notes: | Marshy places, near Roundstone, Galway W. This thistle struck me as varying from C. pratesnis, Huds., to which it is nearly allied, in its stiffer stem, more glabrous heads, and moderately tuberous roots. In the last two respects it approached C. tuberosus, L. The heads, however, which had gone over , seemed to have matured no fruit; and gave the impression of being hybrid. EF Linton. "Very like my specimen of tuberosus from Boyton. I suppose the soil at Roundstone must have been wet. Can it be a form of pratensis?" - CC Babington. |
| Filing note: | Cnicus pratensis |
