Identification

I don't know what species this is, but it's not Cirsium vulgare. C vulgare has involucral spines which radiate outwards instead of lying at an angle, and the leaves have much heavier spines, with the leaves not crisped as in this photo.Richard New Forest (talk) 09:24, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks! Have renamed the file and removed it from that species' category - MPF (talk) 14:08, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
