Sonchus is a genus of flowering plants in the tribe Cichorieae within the family Asteraceae[3][5] and are commonly known as sow thistles (less commonly hare thistles or hare lettuces). Sowthistles are annual, biennial or perennial herbs, with or without rhizomes and a few are even woody (subgenus Dendrosonchus, restricted to the Canary Islands and Madeira).[6][7][8][9][10]
