Usage notes

 * Until recently, artichokes were considered a separate species,, and this name was reserved for cardoons. But genetic research has shown that artichokes are just a kind of cardoon. In older references, Cynara cardunculus usually refers to cardoons: the wild plant and those varieties grown for their edible leaf stalks.
