''Scorzonera humilis'' (viper's-grass) is a perennial plant. In Britain it is a rare plant, restricted to moist meadows, in Dorset and Warwick in England, and in South Wales. One unique class of stilbenoid derivative was first isolated from ''S. humilis''. They were named the tyrolobibenzyls after Tyrol in the eastern Alps, where the plant was collected. == Description == It differs from goat's-beard, ''Tragopogon pratensis'', in that it has short, pale green bracts, whereas in Goats Beard they are long and pointed. It grows 7 to 50cm. The leaves are unbranched, elliptical-lanceolate. The flower heads are 2.5cm wide, and deep yellow in colour. Flowers from May until July. The achenes are smooth ribbed, beakless, with similar pappus to Goats Beard ''Tragopogon pratensis''. It exudes a milky juice from its stem. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scorzonera humilis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
