Succisa (succise, praemorse; cut off at the lower end, referring to the root). Dipsaceae. Three or 4 herbs, by some authorities incl. in Scabiosa, of the Medit. region to Trop. Afr., marked by the soft or herbaceous scales or palea (involucels) subtending the florets in the head, and by other technical characters. To this genus or group belongs the "teufelsabbiss" of the Germans. The plants are little known in cult., but S. australis, Mert., is listed abroad among outdoor perennials. Nearly or quite glabrous: lvs. ovate-elongate and acuminate, entire, the lower ones somewhat auriculate: heads ovate, with lilac-violet or ochroleucous fls.; scales of involucre in 2 series. S. pratensis, Moench. (Scabiosa Succisa, Linn.), may be cult.: root praemorse (as if cut off): radical lvs. ovate-lanceolate, acuminate and entire, the cauline ones connate: scales of involucre in 2 or 3 series. CH
