Cephalaria transylvanica (L.) Roem. et Schult.

Flora Europaea the original Linnean specimen biennal, T, 2n=18, diploid mesoxeric ruderal Pontic-Mediterranean Sisymbrion, Onopordion R87 habitats   Though named after Transsylvania, it is far from being a Transylvanian endemic plant. Instead, the congeneric Cephalaria radiata Griseb. et Schenk, which was discovered much later, is exaclty a Transylvanian endemic.
