The Latin name Sonchus refers to the hollow stem, while oleraceus refers to its good taste.The common name sow thistle refers to its attractiveness to swine, and the similarity of the leaf to younger thistle plants.

It has been ascribed medicinal qualities similar to dandelion and succory.

jest, tako obavijaju stabljiku listovi kod S oleraceus, jestiva vrsta... mislim da je to ta vrsta :)
Thank you both :)
Ok, I thought it should be thinner but maybe is not always like this ;). Jopy@ ima listove koji dodiruju stabiljku!
jest, prema listovima je S. oleraceus!
I too believe, it's Sonchus oleracea...
nista ne pokazuje link, stavljam sliku listova...
ni ja takve nisam vidila, ovisi kakve ima listove i je li listovi obuhvaćaju stabljiku, slabo vidim na slici, evo pogledaj jel ima ovakve listove: http://hirc.botanic.hr/fcd/Galerija/Show...
hm...ne bih mogla staviti ruku u vatru: prvo jer je onako ovaj dosta robusan, mislim nisam nista slicno vidjela tamo, ali kod nas u sumi danas ih je bilo puno tanjih i nekako elegantnijih od ovog primjerka.....
