TEASEL

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 487 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
TEASEL . Wild teasel is a common plant of the
English
  copses and hedges, with a tall, stout, rigid, prickly
stem
 , bearing large spreading opposite leaves, the midrib of which is prickly, and conspicuous oblong heads, the purplish
flowers
  in which are subtended by very
long
 , narrow, stiff, upright bracts. The plant is known botanically as Dipsacus sylvestris.
Fuller
 's teasel, D. Fullonum, in which the bracts are hooked, is probably a cultivated form of the wild
species
 ; the dry heads are used to
comb
  up the nap on
cloth
 . The genus Dipsacus gives its name to the family Dipsaceae, to which also belongs the Scabious (Scabiosa), represented in
Britain
  by several
species
 .
