Bupleurum longifolium Long-leaved Hare's-ear
This small umbelliferous plant had not quite started to flower but the combinations of cupped small yellow flowers have made it a suitable plant for the nurserymen who have created cultivars with bronzy coloured bracts.
B. longifolium along with other species of the Bupleurum genus is used in Chinese herbal medicine as Chai Hu for fevers, headache colds and digestive disorders.
