Vegetative characteristics

The card species are vigorous, biennial or perennial herbaceous plants . The above-ground parts of the plant are bare or hairy. The stems are erect, branched and prickly.

The oppositely arranged leaves can be divided into petioles and leaf blades and often fused at the base. The leaf blades are simple or divided. The central ribs on the underside of the leaves are also often prickly.

Generative characteristics

A heady, egg-shaped to cylindrical, spiked inflorescence stands on a long inflorescence stem . The bracts are as long as or longer than the bracts of the flowers. There are two rows of bracts. There are stinging leaves of chaff on the bottom of the head . The outer cup is very small and barely toothed. The calyx is square, whole or toothed, has no bristles. The crown is unevenly four-lobed. Marginal flowers are not ray-flowers. Two of the four stamens are fertile. The scar is on the side.

The nutty , ribbed-furrowed closing fruits have four edges.

Systematics and distribution

The genus Dipsacus was first published in 1753 by Carl von Linné in Species Plantarum . A synonym for Dipsacus L. is Simenia Szabó . The species previously listed as an independent genus "Schuppenkarden" ( Virga Hill ) are placed in the genus Dipsacus .

The genus Dipsacus is widespread in Europe, the Mediterranean , North Africa, and South and East Asia.
