Field Notes

Description:

Knautia is a genus in the family Dipsacaceae. The common names of these flowers are a variant of "widow flower." Others are given the name "Scabious," although this word belongs to a related genus (Scabiosa).
The genus Knautia comes from the 17th century German botanists, Drs. Christoph and Christian Knaut.
