  Centaurea calcitrapa
Purple starthistle (Centaurea calcitrapa) is an annual to perennial thistle with a mounding growth habit and heads of purple flowers surrounded by long, stout, sharp-pointed spines.
Mature plants are one to four feet high, densely and rigidly branched, and have numerous flowerheads (Roche and Roche 1990).
The species epithet calcitrapa is derived from the word caltrop, a weapon with protruding spikes used in ancient times to obstruct the movement of cavalry.
