Tarkhshiqun

Yaeid or Tarxashqo, also known as Tragopogon, is a genus of perennial plants in the Asteraceae family.

Description of the plant
It is a perennial plant with yellow flowers that can grow up to 60 cm tall. The main stem is erect and branched, with large lance-shaped leaves that spread on the ground. The size of the leaves decreases slightly as they rise, making it difficult to see them except for the flowers and branches. Stems of Tragopogon store a white milky sap similar to milk.

Name
This plant has several names, including Sen of the Lion, Yaeid, and Kasni Deserti. It is sometimes called Wild Artichoke or mixed up with another plant called Chrysanthemum.

In the book "Lisan al-Arab", it is written:

And Yaeid: a small bulbous plant, which is Tarxashqo.
In (Al-Tahdhib): Trakhajqo.
Ibn Sida said: Yaeid is a small bulbous plant with yellow flowers more intense than those of Arum. It was said that it is a tree, and it was said that it is a small bulb from the spring in which there is bitterness.
Abu Hanifa said: Yaeid is a small bulbous plant from the free ones (i.e., not cultivated) with yellow flowers that are sought by camels, goats, and horses. They are also pleased with them and feed on them.

Nabigha described a horse:
