Saw-wort

Serratula

tinctoria

Saw-wort is

another member

of the Daisy family,

the Asteraceae,

and one of the

‘thistles’. Although

hairless and spineless,

the leaves are

bristle-tipped. This

is a notably slender

plant with pink,

thistle-like flowers

and lobed to

pinnate leaves.

An indicator of very

good hay

meadows, this

flower is also found

in heathy

grassland.
