[Sca-cooks] Re:burdock

[johnna holloway]

Cockleburrs are not necessarily the same plant. Different plants are
called cockleburs or cockleburrs, including agrimony, common cocklebur,
and burdock. When we used to walk soybeans (prior to round-up ready
beans and the new ag)
the plant we called cockleburrs and cut out wasn't burdock.
See  www.gov.mb.ca/agriculture/ crops/weeds/fab33s00.html
or http://www.ppws.vt.edu/scott/weed_id/xanst.htm
for a description of this cockleburr.
