Carline thistle is a European perennial plant found generally on slopes and in pastures, preferring limestone soils. The finger-thick rootstock is brown on the outside, lighter and fissured on the inside, and has an unpleasant, pungent odor when fresh but an aromatic odor when dried. The lanceolate, sharply incised leaves, similar to dandelion leaves, are radially arranged in a circle on the ground. A single, large, stemless flower, with a creamy-white center and silvery-white, petal-like bracts, sits immediately on top of the rosette of leaves.
