Knautia
''Knautia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Caprifoliaceae. It includes 55 species native to Europe, North Africa, Western and Central Asia, and Siberia. The common names are variants of "widow flower". Others are given the name "scabious", which properly belongs to the related genus (''Scabiosa''). The name ''Knautia'' comes from the 17th-century German botanists, Drs. Christoph and Christian Knaut.The Plant Lover's Companion: Plants, People & Places
