Centranthus macrosiphon, also commonly called long-spurred valerian, is a herb of the family Caprifoliaceae.

The erect annual herb typically grows to a height of 0.1 to 0.4 metres (0 to 1 ft). It blooms in spring and early summer producing pink-red-white flowers.

The species is native to Northern Africa and southwestern Europe but has become naturalised in many areas including the south west of Western Australia.[1]
