" It has been more cultivated on the Continent than here. The only parts eaten are the inner leaf-stalks and the top of the stalk called the receptacle of the florets when blanched and used in stews, soups, and salads. " It is one of the European plants which has spread to an enormous extent over the prairies of South America.

He is probably referring to the Cardoon in saying, " The...re is one plant the cultiva- tion of which is extremely profitable and of which I am unable to speak without a certain degree of shame; for it is a well-known fact that some small plots of land planted with thistles (scolymos) in the vicinity of Great Carthage, and of Corduba more particularly, produce a yearly income of six thousand sesterces [about 26], this being the way in which we make the monstrous productions even of the earth subservient to our gluttonous appetites, and that, too, when the four- footed brutes instinctively refuse to touch them 1 " Pliny also says it has numerous medicinal virtues.
