| notes: | Carduus nutans x crispus. Lowesby, Leics., at 700 feet elevation, July 1905. One of the highest pieces of ground in E. Leics., where the Middle Lias Marlstone forms a somewhat bold escarpment, and where a number of interesting plants appear that are unknown in the valleys below. The only other thistles growing on this hill are crispus and arvensis. The hybrid shews most generally a nearer approach to C. nutans, but a few are more nearly C. cripus. The seeds do not appear to be well develped - A R Horwood. "There is no trace in my specimen of C. cripus, which moderates the size and multiplies the number of the heads of C. nutans, besides refining the armature of the upper part of the stem, in the hybrid. This is an extra-prickely specimen of type C. nutans, with abundance of fertile seeds which are indistinguishable from seeds of C. nutans. Greater care should be taken in the preparation of supposed hybrid thisles, which are not easy to determine from any but the best meterial." - E. F. Linton. "Correct, I believe. Certainly much nearer to C. nutans in the inflorescence, but the foliage shews strong influence of C. crispus." - E. S. Marshall. "I think the foliage undoubtedly shows the influence of C. crispus." - G. C. Druce. |
