Bupleurum falcatum

Bupleurum falcatum, the sickle-leaved hare's-ear,[1] sickle hare's ear or sickle-leaf hare's ear, is a species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae.[2]

It is found in 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 and noradrenergic systems (although the precise mechanism remains to be found).[5]

Subspecies

Three subspecies are accepted.[3]

  • Bupleurum falcatum subsp. corsicum (Coss. & Kralik) Rouy & E.G.Camus – Corsica
  • Bupleurum falcatum subsp. dilatatum (Schur) Soó – Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania
  • Bupleurum falcatum subsp. falcatum – France to the Caucasus and eastern European Russia
