Rather interesting Argemone it can't be because leaves are opposite and much stronger in texture, also ais appears to be much more robust.
It could be Acanthus ilicifolius if one believes this image of Wikipedia and Wikimedia commons http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Acanthus_ilicifolius_001.jpg http://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Acanthus_ilicifolius_001.jpg But it can't be so if we are to believe following (I can't visualise this range of variation) http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Sea%20Holly.html http://floraofsingapore.wordpress.com/2010/10/03/acanthus-ilicifolius/ http://rmbr.nus.edu.sg/news/index.php?entry=/linnaeus300/03-linnaeus300.txt http://www.flickr.com/photos/33623636@N08/4426116897/ I would imagine this to be Acanthus spinosus (of course not one on FOI which I think is A. montanus) which was uploaded by me on June 6, 2011. https://indiantreepix.googlegroups.com/attach/4b7e31af57a5bb9d/Acanthus-spinosus-California-2.jpg?view=1&part=5&hl=en here are more links http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/209106/ http://www.rickandjames.com/Photo%20Gallery%203.html -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
