Arnoseris is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. [2] [3] [4]
The only known species is Arnoseris minima, native to Europe, Morocco, and the Middle East; naturalized in parts of northeastern North America ( Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan). [5] [6] Common names in the United States: dwarf nipplewort or lamb-succory. [7] Common names in the British Isles: lamb's succory. [8]
It has a maximum height of 30 cm, is herbaceous and does not spread vegetatively. [9]
The species became extinct across the British Isles in 1971. [10] There was an attempt to reintroduce the species, and there has been one recent sighting in England. [11]
Arnoseris minima is an annual weed of cornfields and fallow fields, favouring infertile, sandy, acidic soils. [12]
The word 'succory' is an anglicization of the French 'cichorie' ( chicory). The 'lamb' in the name denotes that it is a chicory only suitable for animal consumption. [13] The genus Arnoseris comes from the Ancient Greek 'arnos seris' meaning 'sheep's endive'. The species epithet minima means 'small'. [14]
Arnoseris minima is a source of the simple coumarin aesculetin and the flavonoids luteolin, luteolin 7-O-β-D-glucoside, luteolin 4'-O-β-D-glucoside, and 3-O-methylquercetin. [15]
