Tragopogon orientalis, common name Oriental goat's beard, is a hemicryptophyte herbaceous annual plant in the family Asteraceae.

[1] This species was previously treated as a subspecies of Tragopogon pratensis, in contrast with latter molecular phylogenetic analyses.

[2][3][4] This species is native to Eurasia, with a range from Europe to Siberia and Western Himalaya.

Tragopogon orientalis reaches approximately 40 cm (16 in) in height.

These plants are characterized by the enlarged stem under the capitula and by the flowers that have the same size as the perianth.
