notes Detail of flower heads of Cirsium occidentale var. compactum, growing on coastal prairie atop ocean bluffs. Both the low-growing native thistle taxa Cirsium quercetorum and Cirsium occidentale var. compactum are vouchered from here...but the densely cobwebby heads, rich red flowers, and thickly-woolly upper sides of the leaves mark this clearly as the latter.photo category: Plant - annual/perennial
