Kashmir thistles and similar plants-9-Cirsium sp

[Gurcharan Singh]

Cirsium sp. from Kashmir, growing along roadsides along Pampore Karewas. I was tempted to identify it as C. wallichii but the spines on leaves are shorter and involucre bracts different from C. wallichii photographed from Manali earlier: Photographed on June 20, 2010

Dear Sir Ji,
This plant reminds me of  Cirsium verutum (D.Don) Sprengel [Synonym: C. involucratum DC., Cnicus argyracanthus (DC.) C.B. Clarke].

regards
Tanay

I have also been considering these two species. Although the flower colour is similar to C. verutum, the spines are much shorter and fewer and only at tips of leaf lobes. Please also note leaves are thicker and darker green in colour. Inner involucre bracts are broader with shorter spines.
