Description and habitat
editAn Eryngo with single upright stem based with roundish, shield-like, saw-toothed greyish leaves and some smaller ones up the stem, flowering with 1–3 yellowy-green flower heads. Photos.
It naturally grows on marly soil, and apart from Eryngium thorifolium lacks close allies.[3]
It may be confused with E. thorifolium,[4], whose leaves are rounder-topped and much more indented at the base, with many more flower heads on some branches, and which grows on rocky serpentine soil; and also with species of Pimpinella such as Pimpinella flabellifolia.
