Il Cardo Mariano, nome botanico: Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn., 1791, è una pianta erbacea biennale della famiglia Asteracee, presente in tutto il bacino del Mediterraneo. È una pianta con portamento vigoroso, che nel primo anno forma una rosetta basale di foglie e nel secondo anno lo scapo fiorale alto fino ad oltre 150 cm. L'intera pianta è glabra e spinosa. La radice è robusta e fittonante, capace di dissodare naturalmente i terreni compatti. È diffuso in tutte le regioni del Mediterraneo dal livello del mare fino alla zona submontana. Più raro al nord, diventa più frequente passando al centro, al sud e nelle isole fino a diventare invadente. Si rinviene nei ruderi, lungo le strade, negli incolti. Un'antica tradizione cristiana, vuole che il nome "mariano" derivi da piccole striature bianche sulle foglie della pianta, che dovrebbero rappresentare il latte di Maria Vergine, perso durante l'allattamento presso un riparo in una vegetazione di cardi, nel periodo di fuga in Egitto con Giuseppe e Gesù bambino. Dagli acheni del cardo mariano si estrae la silimarina, una miscela di flavonolignani (silibina, silidianina, isosilibina e silicristina) noti per le proprietà depurative e protettive sul fegato. Il cardo mariano viene utilizzato in tutte le epatopatie (alcoliche, tossico-metaboliche, iatrogene e croniche) in cui sia rilevato un danno anatomo-funzionale, dato che effettua un'azione rigeneratrice nei confronti della cellula epatica e rende più resistente la cellula nei confronti degli agenti epatotossici. Inoltre è un efficace antiossidante dato che cattura i radicali liberi. L'utilizzo a scopo terapeutico di questa pianta è noto fin dall'antichità ma l'isolamento e la caratterizzazione dei principi attivi sono stati completati negli anni settanta. Scatto effettuato nel mese di Luglio del 2016 in Valfurva.
