Eryngium davisii
Eryngium davisii, in Turkish konya boğadikeni, is a species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, endemic to Turkey.
Description and Habitat
A short Eryngo with a number of upright stems. Near the bases are many complex, smallish leaves that persist past flowering, whilst the stem leaves' broad stalks are spiny. The stems branch sparsely in the upper flowering parts into a narrow, display of heads, mostly yellowish-green in overall appearance but with the flowers themselves are bluish and appear late Aug-Sep. Each flower head is surrounded by 7-9 slender spine-leaves, rather equal, pale green or slightly blue, larger than the flower heads, and within a head each small flower is attended by a small simple spine. It naturally grows at high altitude. .It is closely related to Eryngium heldreichii whose stem leaves' broad stalks lack the spines; and to Eryngium bourgatii, of which E. heldreichii used to be counted as a subspecies.
