Species Details

Small Teasel is a native biennial of waysides and woodlands where it is taken to be an indicator of ancient woods. It is rare in the White Peak, as at Coombs Dale (SK2274), Alsop Station (SK1554) and in the Via Gellia (SK2857). Elsewhere it is very rare, as at High Low (SK28F), Cromford Canal (SK3255) and Eggington (SK2630). It was previously more frequent in the south of our area, for example being recorded at Bretby Mill (SK22) and Repton Shrubs (SK32), both in 1903.

This plant is in Category 5b of the local Red Data List, 2009.
