A plant which grows in rough pasture, copses, by streams and by roads throughout the British Isles. Its stem is covered in spiny prickles. Its leaves form a cup with the stem and in this way the plant traps water in which insects sometimes drown. It is not known if the plant gains benefit from this. It produces small pink or white flowers in July and August. Picture taken 28th July at Felmersham, Bedfordshire.
