Cirsium indefensum closely resembles Cirsium nippoicum var. yoshinoi; the significant difference stands in the total number of bract columns; with the former, it is twelve, while in the latter, eight to nine. The other differences, if any, wouldn't be recognizable to me. Bloom time: September-November.
