Tragopogon, also known as goatsbeard or salsify

Tragopogon, also known as goatsbeard or salsify, is a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family. It includes the vegetable known as salsify, as well as a number of common wild flowers. (Other species of unrelated plants in the Rosacea family are also known as Goatsbeard) Salsifies are forbs growing as biennial or perennial plants. They have a strong taproot and milky sap. They generally have few branches, and those there are tend to be upright. Their leaves are somewhat grass-like. Flower colour varies within the genus, with some yellow species, and some bronze or purple. Seeds are achenes and are borne in a globe like that of a dandelion but larger, and are dispersed by the wind. The salsifies are mostly natives of Europe and Asia, but several species have been introduced into North America and Australia and have spread widely there. There is one species sometimes considered native to North America, Tragopogon mirus, but it is in fact a hybrid of two non-native species. Some of the more common species of Tragopogon are known, in the regions where they are most common, by the common names goat’s beard, goatsbeard, salsify, or common salsify, without further qualification. These names are therefore inherently ambiguous, and best avoided, or reserved for the genus collectively. In the species list below, the first common name given is the one that seems to be most widely used for that species and is not in significant use for any other species. The vegetable called salsify is usually the root of the purple salsify, Tragopogon porrifolius; the root is described as having the taste of oysters (hence the alternative common name “oyster plant“ for some species in this genus), but more insipid with a touch of sweetness. The young shoots of purple salsify can also be eaten, as well as young leaves. Other species are also used in the same way, including the black or Spanish salsify, Scorzonera hispanica, which is closely related though not a member of the genus Tragopogon. Tragopogon，也称为山羊胡或婆罗门参，是向日葵科开花植物的一个属。它包括被称为婆罗门参的蔬菜，以及一些常见的野花。 （酒渣鼻科的其他无关植物也被称为山羊胡子） 婆罗门参是作为二年生或多年生植物生长的杂草。他们有一个强大的主根和乳白色的汁液。它们通常很少有分支，而那些分支往往是直立的。它们的叶子有点像草。花色在属内各不相同，有些是黄色的，有些是青铜色或紫色。种子是瘦果，像蒲公英一样生长在球体中，但更大，并被风吹散。 婆罗门参大多原产于欧洲和亚洲，但有几种已被引入北美和澳大利亚并在那里广泛传播。有一种有时被认为原产于北美的物种 Tragopogon mirus，但实际上它是两种非本地物种的杂交种。 一些更常见的 Tragopogon 物种在它们最常见的地区被称为山羊胡须、山羊胡子、婆罗门参或普通婆罗门参，没有进一步的限定。因此，这些名称本质上是模棱两可的，最好避免使用，或者为该属集体保留。在下面的物种列表中，给出的第一个通用名称似乎是该物种使用最广泛的名称，但对任何其他物种没有显着使用。 称为婆罗门参的蔬菜通常是紫色婆罗门参的根，Tragopogon porrifolius；根被描述为具有牡蛎的味道（因此该属中某些物种的替代通用名称为“牡蛎植物”），但更平淡，带有一丝甜味。紫色婆罗门参的嫩芽也可食用，嫩叶也可食用。其他物种也以相同的方式使用，包括黑色或西班牙婆罗门参，Scorzonera hispanica，虽然不是 Tragopogon 属的成员，但与它关系密切。 ヤギのひげまたはサルシファイとしても知られているトラゴポゴンは、ヒマワリ科の顕花植物の属です。これには、サルシファイとして知られる野菜だけでなく、多くの一般的な野生の花が含まれています。 （バラ科の他の種の無関係な植物はヤマブキショウとしても知られています） サルシファイは二年生または多年生植物として成長する広葉草本です。彼らは強い直根性と乳白色の樹液を持っています。彼らは一般的にほとんど枝を持っておらず、そこにあるも&am
