Tragopogon porrifolius is a plant cultivated for its ornamental flower and edible root. It also grows wild in many places and is one of the most widely known species of the salsify genus, Tragopogon. It is commonly known as purple or common salsify, oyster plant, vegetable oyster, Jerusalem star,[5] Jack go to bed,[6] or simply salsify (although these last two names are also applied to other species).
The Latin specific epithet porrifolius means "with leaves like leek" (Allium porrum).[7]
