Serratula tinctoria | |
Serratula tinctoria, commonly known as dyer's plumeless saw-wort [1] or saw-wort, is a species in the genus Serratula . It is a native of Europe and a thistle like flower head. It grows in moist soil, full sun to part shade, [2] and grows up to one metre tall.
Serratula is a genus of plants in the thistle tribe within the daisy family native to Eurasia. Plumeless saw-wort is a common name for plants in this genus. Serratula as traditionally defined contains at least two groups: one of which is basal within the subtribe Centaureinae and one of which is derived; the former group can be moved to the genus Klasea.
This is an introduced plant in a small area of the northeastern United States, where it is called the Dyer's plumeless saw-wort. [1]
Serratula tinctoria is the source of a yellow dye. [2] As a herbal preparation, the plant is thought to mend ruptures and wounds. [3]

Indigofera tinctoria, also called true indigo, is a species of plant from the bean family that was one of the original sources of indigo dye. It has been naturalized to tropical and temperate Asia, as well as parts of Africa, but its native habitat is unknown since it has been in cultivation worldwide for many centuries.

In Iran and areas of the former Soviet Union it is known as basma. The plant is also widely grown as a soil-improving groundcover.
