Carduus crispus
Daisy family Asteraceae	Photographer: John Crellin
On path through fields from Clyro to Hay. View location Showing a floret I had to remove to aid identification. Variously described as "two-lipped" in one book and "1 lobe more deeply delimited" in another. I see it as three (upper) lobes distinct from the other two. Other features in the keys agree anyway but this one is confusing !	Back to: Wild plants; Flowering plants; Native plants; Daisy family; Radnorshire; Floret Enquiry / feedback.
