Tragopogon dubius is only hardly distinguishable from Tragopogon pratensis subsp. minor. Criteria by trend are: At Tragopogon dubius the upper part of the stem below the flower head is thickened like a cudgel, which is not the case at Tragopogon pratensis subsp. minor (but sometimes the swelling of Tragopogon dubius can evolve only later during flower, on the other hand Tragopogon pratensis subsp. minor can have a light swelling, too). When flowering starts, the edges of the green petals of Tragopogon pratensis subsp. minor are tinged with red (which is not necessarily the case at every flower, and the red color is fading during flower time). | ||
