Lapsana communis, commonly known as nipplewort, is an annual herbaceous plant native to Europe and Asia. With its clusters of small yellow flowers and toothed leaves, it thrives in disturbed habitats such as fields, roadsides, and waste areas. Nipplewort blooms from late spring to early summer, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Despite its status as a weed in some regions, it has been used in traditional herbal medicine for its potential medicinal properties. Additionally, it provides food for wildlife and contributes to biodiversity in its habitat.
