Cynaroidee, Benth. et Hook. Gen. Plant. ii. pp. 168 et 211. 
Upwards of 1000 species of this tribe are known, and they are referred to thirty- 
seven genera. About forty species are American ; and the rest inhabit the Old World, 
nearly 800 being concentrated in the Mediterranean region. 
198. CNICUS. 
Cnicus, Linn. Gen. Plant. n. 926; Benth. et Hook. Gen. Plant. ii. p. 468. 
About 150 herbaceous species, indigenous in the northern hemisphere. Several are 
now widely spread weeds of cultivation. The synonymy of the Mexican species has 
been very much confused ; and we are unable to correct it. Those we have described as 
new are all from the valley of Mexico, and may, one or more of them, turn out to be 
introduced plants. .
