Tragopogon miscellus
Species of plant From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tragopogon miscellus, the Moscow salsify,[1] is a species native to the States of Washington and Idaho. Intensive studies over the course of many years have demonstrated that it originated as an allopolyploid hybrid between T. dubius and T. pratensis, both of which are European species naturalized in the US. Tragopogon miscellus has become established in the wild, reproducing by its own, thus deserving recognition as a species.[2][3][4]
