Lomelosia stellata, synonyms including Scabiosa stellata, is a species of flowering plant in the honeysuckle family, Caprifoliaceae.[1] It is known by the common name starflower pincushions or starflower scabious.[2] It was formerly placed in the teasel family. Native to southwestern Europe and North Africa, it is also grown as an ornamental plant. This erect annual[2] has an inflorescence which is a dense spherical cluster of pale blue flowers, followed by showy fruits with striped, fan-like funnel-shaped papery bracts.
