These weeds have prickly leaves (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thistles

(Other definitions for thistles that I've seen before include "Scottish emblems" , "Lists the strange weeds" , "The weeds have prickly leaves" , "One of these plants is a Scottish emblem" , "Weeds with prickly-edged leaves" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
