Carduus
Sign in to saveCarduus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, and the tribe Cardueae, one of two genera considered to be true thistles, the other being Cirsium. Plants of the genus are known commonly as plumeless thistles. They are native to temperate Eurasia and North Africa, and several are known elsewhere as introduced species. This genus is noted for its disproportionately high number of noxious weeds compared to other flowering plant genera.
OverviewAI-generated
Carduus is a genus of plants within the family Asteraceae, also referred to as Compositae. It belongs to the order Asterales and the class Magnoliopsida, with the species Carduus nutans serving as its taxonomic type. The genus is commonly known as plumeless thistle, Distel, or Ringdisteln. Its parent taxon is Cynareae, and the name derives from the Greek word karduus.
The native range of Carduus includes Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Altay, Amur, Austria, the Azores, Baleares, the Baltic States, Belarus, Belgium, and Bulgaria. The taxon is currently accepted. Records exist in the United States, Canada, and Algeria, with specimens held by institutions such as CAS, DAV, CMN, CHAS, and the University of Alberta Museums.

Carduus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, and the tribe Cardueae, one of two genera considered to be true thistles, the other being Cirsium. Plants of the genus are known commonly as plumeless thistles. They are native to temperate Eurasia and North Africa, and several are known elsewhere as introduced species. This genus is noted for its disproportionately high number of noxious weeds compared to other flowering plant genera.
==Etymology== The genus name Carduus is from the Latin for "a kind of thistle" or "thistlelike plant". It is related to the word Cardonnacum ("a place of chardons or thistles"), which is the origin of Chardonnay, the name of the grape variety. It is also related to the word card, which as a noun means a device (often a stiff-bristled brush) for aligning and cleaning fibers, and as a verb means the action of processing fibers in that way.
