the flower heads; leaves 3-12 in., lower leaves deeply 
divided, end lobe largest, upper ovate or lanceolate or 
some divided into 3 lobes, shortly hairy on both sur-

tary or several heads, 1 in. diam., surrounded by 6-8 
spreading, leaf-like bracts, bracteoles or scales on the 
base of the head (receptacle) concave, abruptly narrowed 
in long, fringed, spine-like points, projecting above the 
flowers when in bud, calyx double owing to an epicalyx 
(involucel), calyx proper cup-shaped, hairy, 4-angled,
