Description

Here's one that knows how to make an impression. The stump produces running rhizomes that allow it to spread slowly but surely, until it forms large groups if the terrain suits it.

The leaves are highly divided and large. The very tall, dark stems bear spikes that are shorter than most, but wider and conical in shape.
