Subject: [indiantreepix:8070] Plant at Binsar

Could someone identify this plant please--it was growing wild at Basauli, near 
Binsar, Kumaon in November 2005. As you can see it was covered with fine 
hairlike spines. A slight brush against it gave me a burning feeling that 
persisted for a day or two.

It was locally called bichchu gaas--'scorpion plant'.

Thanks in advance,
Kumaran
