 Cirsium arvense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cirsium arvense, also known as the Creeping Thistle or Canada Thistle, is a very serious invasive species of the genus Cirsium, native throughout Europe, Asia and northern Africa.
This plant is cited as a noxious weed in several countries; for example Brazil and the United States.
Cirsium species, are, for the most part, edible; however, the leaves are considered bitter and therefore rendered inedible; the taproot is considered the most nutritious.

 vPlants - Cirsium pitcheri
In addition to the flower color and singular location of the species, the blue-green cast of the stem and leaves, the soft white hairs covering the plant and the lack of numerous sharp spines are very diagnostic characters.
Cirsium pitcheri still exists in scattered natural populations throughout the dunes in Indiana (at both the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore and the Indiana Dunes State Park).
Etymology: Cirsium comes from both the Greek words kirsion, meaning a kind of thistle, and cirsos, meaning "swollen vein" for which thistles were once thought a remedy.

 Species: Cirsium vulgare
In bull thistle, this is probably a result of the immobilization of nutrients during the process of litter breakdown [80].
Cirsium roots have been sold commercially for use as rabbit bait in Australia [106].
At least 1 of these strains does attack some native Cirsium species [89,125], and reviews by Randall [122], Beck [15] and Wilson and McCaffrey [164] indicate that it is known to attack native and rare thistles.

 Cirsium hillii Status Assessment
Cirsium hillii (Canby) Fern., commonly known as Hill's thistle or occasionally called pasture or prairie thistle, is a relatively wide-ranging species principally of the Upper Midwest.
Cirsium hillii is restricted principally to the northern portion of the state, although extant localities are known only from two counties in the northeast region (Hedge et al.
Cirsium hillii is not sufficiently rare, vulnerable, or in decline throughout its range to merit consideration for federal listing at this time.

The genus Cirsium is a large one, with 92 native species in North America, of which 20 occur in the U.S. states that fall wholly or in part east of the 100th meridian (USDA, NRCS, 1999).
Phylogenetic studies of North American and Eurasian Cirsium species are needed to elucidate relationships among species in the genus and to provide a basis for planning host-specificity tests and interpreting resulting data.

Invasive Plants of Wisconsin: Cirsium palustre, swamp thistle
Cirsium palustre is relatively easy to identify by the presence of spine-edged, leafy wings on the stem and the absence of strong spiny-tips on the phyllaries (bracts at the base of the flower head).
The heads of Cirsium palustre are also much smaller than those of Cirsium vulgare, the only other Wisconsin thistle species with winged stems.

 Botany Photo of the Day: Cirsium vulgare
Cirsium vulgare is native to Europe and Asia, but is now found throughout most of North America (including all of the continental US and Alaska).
For a biennial species like Cirsium vulgare, two bad years of no seed production (due to biological controls, fire, chemical control, etc.) could theoretically wipe out a local population.
However, by having buried seeds reside in ant nests that may not germinate for many years, the long-term sustainability of the entire local population of plants is secured.
