Extract

Canada thistle and perennial sowthistle have been given several names by various authors. However, it appears that the Canada thistle used in this study is generally called Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop. and the perennial sowthistle was a mixture of Sonchus arvensis L. and S. uliginosus Bieb. The two species of sowthistle are very similar. However, S. arvensis has “long glandular-hispid peduncles and involucres covered with lead colored glandular phyllaries” and a chromosome complement of 54, while S. uliginosus has “slenderly turbinate to cylindric pale involucres and glaborous white-margined phyllaries” and a chromosome complement of 36.
