Centaurium pulchellum

About

Centaurium pulchellum is a species of flowering plant in the gentian family known by the common name lesser centaury, or slender centaury. It differs from Centaurium erythraea by lacking basal rosette of leaves and by having a developed peduncle below the flowers. It is often much smaller, less than ten centimetres. It is native to the southern temperate parts of Europe.

In the kitchen

Lesser centaury is not typically eaten by humans, so it's best to admire this tiny flower in its natural habitat rather than in your kitchen.
