Overview

Tephroseris integrifolia is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Asteraceae.

Field Fleawort faces severe population declines primarily due to habitat loss and degradation of its specialized chalk grassland and limestone cliff environments. Agricultural intensification, urban development, and changes in traditional grazing practices have eliminated or altered much of its suitable habitat across its limited European range.
