Anyone got a clear view on whether it should be Fuller's Teasel or Fullers' Teasel? The species epithet looks like a Latin plural genitive to me, but it's not a word I know - and anyway, how is it usually rendered in English? seglea 19:33, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Fuller's Teasel, since the name refers to its use for "fulling", i.e. raising the nap on cloth, used by a "fuller". -- WormRunner | Talk 04:49, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Teasel

This separate page covers the same plants and should be merged - I'll do so in a few days unless there is a consensus not to do so MPF 11:14, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

Done - MPF 22:48, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Germination

Can someone please state how long teasel seeds take to germinate as I know they do take quite a while? Anyone have the specifics? Maliki-sis 22:36, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
