Tragopogon Pratensis, a plant species commonly known as meadow salsify, is a yellow-flowered member of the daisy family. It is an herbaceous plant that can grow up to 100cm tall and is native to Europe but has been introduced to other parts of the world. Meadow salsify is often used for its medicinal properties and is also an edible plant with a slightly bitter taste. Some synonyms for Tragopogon Pratensis include goat's beard, Jack-go-to-bed-at-noon, and yellow goatstongue. These names are believed to have originated from the plant's tall and bristly appearance, as well as its tendency to close its flowers at noon.
