- A taxonomic species within the family Asteraceae – the cardoon.
Usage notes
- Until recently, artichokes were considered a separate species, Cynara scolymus, and this name was reserved for cardoons- but genetic research has shown that artichokes are just a kind of cardoon. In older references, Cynara cardunculus usually refers to cardoons: the wild plant and those varieties grown for their edible leaf stalks.
