Meadow Goat's Beard (Tragopogen pratensis)
The Meadow Goat's Beard growing alongside Highway 11 North in the District of Timiskaming in Northeastern Ontario Canada
It occurs throughout Ontario in the same habitats as Goat's-beard (pastures, meadows, roadsides and occasionally continues until September.
Very similar to Goat's-beard in appearance and growth habit but differing from it by having stem leaves which taper more quickly into long, slender, curled tips (a), and often have crisped or wrinkled margins. And the stalk immediately below the flower head is abruptly narrowed to normal stem thickness, and is not hollow. They have a milky sap.
Plants are edible and non-native.
