She was drawn to nettles and brambles and deadly nightshade and teasels and other lingering signs of ancient human habitation. ❋ Unknown (2011)
Christiane, I am not a globetrotter, but I share your love for “natural objects” like drifwood from a nearby deserted beach, branches, bark, foliage, dried teasels, berries ... (the list is longer) ❋ Unknown (2009)

They are not unlike a field of teasels in blossom -- there are the thorny points of this strange plant, and the delicate and exceedingly beautiful blossom beside, resting on the very points of a hundred lances, with their lovely lilac bloom. ❋ Various (N/A)
Those who have lived where teasels grow will understand this illustration. ❋ Various (N/A)
The operation of napping is performed by passing the cloth in a tightly stretched condition over a revolving cylinder covered with teasels or steel hooks. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
Fulling is followed by gigging, and in this process a nap more or less heavy is raised on the face of the goods by means of teasels. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
This is accomplished by passing the face of the matted cloth against a cylinder covered with sharp pointed teasels which draw out the fibers from the yarn. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
In a vast majority of cases 13 leaves are found on 5 circuits, and as we have only to deal with this proportion in the teasels we will not consider others. ❋ Hugo De Vries (1891)
The twisted teasels lose their decussation, but in doing so the leaves are not left in a disorderly dispersion, but a distinct new arrangement takes its place, which is to be assumed as the normal one for the ancestors of the teasel family. ❋ Hugo De Vries (1891)
More than once I have had occasion to deal with the phenomenon of torsions, as exhibited by the teasels and some other plants. ❋ Hugo De Vries (1891)
Summing up this description of the hereditary qualities of our twisted teasels and of their mechanical consequences, we may say that the loss of the normal decussation is the cause of all the observed changes. ❋ Hugo De Vries (1891)
In the teasels this screw-arrangement has disappeared, and has been replaced by a decussate grouping. ❋ Hugo De Vries (1891)
In the summer of 1885 I saw among a lot of normal wild teasels, two nicely twisted stems in the botanical garden of Amsterdam. ❋ Hugo De Vries (1891)
Obviously no other explanation is possible, than the supposition that the 5-13 spiral is still latent, though not displayed by the teasels. ❋ Hugo De Vries (1891)
Compared with the polycephalous poppies my race of twisted teasels is much richer in atavists. ❋ Hugo De Vries (1891)
In the same way double ascidia may be made use of to explain the foliar cups of the teasels and some other plants, as for instance, some ❋ Hugo De Vries (1891)
The leaves on the stems of the teasels are disposed in pairs, and the bases of the two leaves of each pair are connate so as to constitute large cups. ❋ Hugo De Vries (1891)
If the leaves are sessile, the analogy with the teasels is complete, as shown, for instance, in a case of _Cotyledon_, a crassulaceous plant which is [675] known to produce such cups from time to time. ❋ Hugo De Vries (1891)
Fasciated hawkweeds and twisted teasels gave the same average constitution of the offspring from highly monstrous, and from apparently wholly normal individuals. ❋ Hugo De Vries (1891)
