Dipsacus comosus is a member of the thistle-like teasel plant family found mainly in Portugal and the Iberian peninsula. In ancient Greek, the word for thirst is dipsacus. This relates to this plant because its leaves have a cup shape where they meet the plant's stem. Teasel used to be an important plant in the textile industry, where its spiky heads were used to comb or tease fabric fibers during textile production.
