Bupleurum falcatum

Bupleurum falcatum, also known as sickle-leaved hare's-ear,[1] sickle hare's ear and sickle-leaf hare's ear, is a species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae.

[2] It is endemic to Europe and the Caucasus.

[3] In East Asia, the scientific name Bupleurum falcatum is often misapplied to another species, Bupleurum stenophyllum.

[4] Bupleurum falcatum has been found to possess antidepressant properties, mediated through the serotonergic & noradrenergic systems (although the precise mechanism remains to be found).
