Eryngium bithynicum
Eryngium bithynicum, in Turkish çakırotu , is a species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae native to Turkey.

Description
An Eryngo with somewhat widely-spreading diffuse display of bluish flowers on slender blue branches. The groundmost leaves spread out in a circle and are usually fairly simple or may be 2–3 lobed, and wither by flowering, the leaves above being of a different kind with more complex, broadish, toothier lobing. It is easily confused with a number of similar Eryngo—each flowerhead is surrounded by 5(6) slender spine–leaves somewhat broadening from tip to base, and within the head each small flower is attended by a 3-part spine; inflorescence stems are strongly channeled and the flowers in a head are not numerous (usually fewer than 15). Photos. It naturally likes steppe, fallow fields, eroded banks, 100–1,400 m (330–4,590 ft), flowering June to September.
