Bupleurum falcatum

Sickle-leaved Hare’s ear - Bupleurum falcatum

Sickle-leaved hare's ear (Apiaceae family) is a herbaceous perennial with small, yellow, five-petalled flowers arranged in an umbel. The upper leaves are narrow and curved like the shape of a sickle - hence the plant's name. This plant is quite common in the Alps and in many chalky regions of France.
The root is traditionally used in Chinese medicine to treat fever and both pulmonary and intestinal inflammation. It is an anti-inflammatory, stimulates the immune system, and also has sedative properties.
