The huge, rubbery leaves of this plant are said to have formed part of the diet of castaway Alexander Selkirk, probable inspiration for Robinson Crusoe, eponymous hero of the famous novel by Daniel Defoe. The plant is a close relative of the European sow thistles (genus Sonchus), eaten as pot herbs since the days of the Ancient Greeks.
