Tragopogon dubius, commonly known as yellow salsify, is a species of salsify with yellow flower heads. It is native to Eurasia and has been introduced to North America.

Like most salsifies, Tragopogon dubius grows as an annual or occasionally biennial forb,[citation needed] reaching a height of 40–80 centimetres (15+1⁄2–31+1⁄2 in). The leaves are up to 25 cm (10 in) long.[2]
