Notes

Possible confusion with D. fullonum L., 1753, which has lilac flowers and longer, upward-curving involucral bracts that often protrude past the flower head, while D. laciniatus has pale lilac or white flowers and shorter, spreading involucral bracts.

Hybridizes with D. fullonum L., 1753 to produce D. × pseudosylvestris Schur, 1866, P (het. syn. D. × fallax Simonk., 1878).
