The largest family of flowering plants , the Compositae (Asteraceae), comprising about 1,100 genera and more than 20,000 species and characterized by many small flowers arranged in a head looking like a single flower and subtended by an involucre of bracts. A head may consist of both ray flowers and disk flowers, as in the sunflower, of disk flowers only, as in the burdock, or of ray flowers only, as in the dandelion.

Genus Carduus

Annuals or biennials [perennials ], 30-200(-400) cm. spiny , ± tomentose , sometimes glabrate . Stems erect , simple to much branched, (spiny-winged) . Leaves basal and cauline; petiolate or sessile; blade margins spiny dentate, often 1-2-pinnately lobed , faces glabrous or hairy , eglandular . Heads discoid , borne singly or 2-20 in dense clusters or corymbiform arrays. (Peduncles naked or leafy-bracteate, spiny-winged or not winged .) Involucres cylindric to spheric. Phyllaries many in 7-10+ series, linear to broadly ovate , bases appressed , margins entire, apices ascending to spreading or reflexed , acute, spine-tipped. Receptacles flat, epaleate, bearing setiform scales ("flattened bristles"). Florets several-many; corollas white to pink or purple, ± bilateral , tubes long, slender, throats short, campanulate , abruptly expanded from tubes, lobes linear; anther bases sharply short-tailed, apical appendages oblong ; style branches: fused portions with slightly, minutely puberulent , swollen basal nodes, distally papillate or glabrous, distinct portions very short.
