[2199] He probably means the thistle, but possibly the artichoke, under this name. See B. xix. cc. [19] and [43], and B. xx. c. [99].
[2200] This is probably the same with the second variety of the “Cnecos,” mentioned above in c. 53, the Centaurea lanata, or benedicta.
[2201] Probably the Carduus leucographus of Linnæus.

[2203] See c. [93] of this Book.
[2204] “Many thorns.” According to Dalechamps, this is the Carduus spinosissimus angustifolius vulgaris of C. Bauhin, the Cirsium spinosissimum of Linnæus.
[2205] Identified by Dalechamps with the Onopordon Illyricum, or Acanthium of modern botany.
[2206] The Acarna gummifera of modern botanists, the flowers of which yield a kind of gum with an agreeable smell. It is quite a different plant from Wall pellitory, mentioned in B. xxii. c. 19, under this name.
