THe lesser Globe-Thistle hath leaves like the former, but lesser and whiter, the stalk and head of flowers not so bigg, the root more durable, commonly lasting three or four years, bearing flowers.
These flower usually in August, and sometimes later; being sow∣ed of seeds, they will come to bear flowers the second year. There are some other sorts of Thistles, which in general collections are re∣ceived into Gardens, but none of them fit for our purpose.
