  1. lactuca scariola

    Lactuca Scariola, commonly known as prickly lettuce, is a species of wild lettuce native to Europe, Asia and North Africa, but has become naturalized to North America and Australia. It is an upright biennial or annual plant that can reach heights of 150 cm, with stout, spiny stems. Its leaves have a bitter taste and can be used in salads, but the bitterness is usually too strong for most people's tastes. It contains a milky juice that has been used in traditional medicine as a sedative.
