		Thistle is the old English name - essentially the same in all kindred languages - for a large family of plants occurring chiefly in Europe and Asia, of which we have fourteen species in Great Britain, arranged under the botanical groups Carduus, Carlina, Onopordon and Carbenia, or Cnicus.
		Culpepper considered the Milk Thistle to be as efficient as Carduus benedictus for agues, and preventing and curing the infection of the plague, and also for removal of obstructions of the liver and spleen.
		Which is the true Scotch Thistle even the Scottish antiquarians cannot decide, but it is generally considered to be this species of Thistle that was originally the badge of the House of Stuart, and came to be regarded as the national emblem of Scotland.

		Yellow star thistle seeds, which probably came to the United States from Europe as stowaways in alfalfa or other legumes, made their way into the area.
		Once the star thistle is removed or greatly reduced, native grasses, alfalfa and clover are planted.
		But because it takes several seasons for the natives to return, the star thistle must be nearly completely removed before seeds can be planted, and the land has to be tilled, fertilized and maintained until the grasses fully recover.
