Bupleurum falcatum seed
LATIN NAME: BUPLEURUM FALCATUM
COMMON NAME: Sickle-Leaved Hare’s Ear, Chai Hu
The sickle-leaved hare’s ear is a neat, upright, slender, perennial herb of the sunny grasslands, and its fine, narrow, sickle-shaped, greyish-green leaves and its fine, upright, open clusters of many small, yellow, five-petalled flowers have made it a treasured and long-known plant of the region. It grows as an upright, slender, perennial herb, reaching up to one metre or less, with upright, slender, branching stems bearing alternate, narrow, sickle-shaped, pointed, greyish-green leaves and, through the summer, fine, upright, open clusters of many small, yellow, five-petalled flowers, followed by small, flat, two-seeded fruits. It is a species of the flowering plant in the carrot family, native to the sunny grasslands of eastern Asia and eastern Europe, while it grows in open, sunny places, and it is known as the sickle-leaved hare’s ear, while its roots have a long history of use in the traditional ways of eastern Asia, known as chai hu.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The sickle-leaved hare’s ear has a real and distinguished place in research. It has been studied in the chemistry of natural products and traditional use, since the fine roots of the plant have a long history of use in the traditional ways of eastern Asia, and researchers have examined the roots and their constituents, while the traditional uses of the plant have drawn attention in the international pharmaceutical and botanical press, and the study of the plant and its chemistry has been of continuing interest across the world, while the plant is best kept as a subject of study and a traditional herb rather than a casual home remedy. The plant has also been studied in botany and ecology, since it is a native of the sunny grasslands of eastern Asia and eastern Europe, and its relationships, its distribution and its role in the grassland have been examined, while the ecology of the grassland plants has been of continuing interest, and its fine, narrow, sickle-shaped leaves have been of interest to the botanists. The species has also been studied in horticulture, since its fine, upright, open clusters of many small, yellow flowers have made it a fine plant of the garden, and researchers have examined its growth, its flowering and its cultivation. For a plant of such long history, the sickle-leaved hare’s ear has a rich and continuing record of study.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
To grow the Sickle-Leaved Hare’s Ear from seed, ecologically, the sickle-leaved hare’s ear is a generous plant of the garden. Its fine, upright, open clusters of many small, yellow flowers feed the bees and the many insects, and its fine, narrow, greyish-green growth gives a neat, fine presence to the sunny border and the grassland garden. Its economic value is real: the sickle-leaved hare’s ear is prized for its long history of traditional use, and its value has drawn attention in the international pharmaceutical and botanical press, while its fine, yellow, open form has also made it a valued plant of the sunny garden. To set the sickle-leaved hare’s ear going, mix the seeds with damp sand and keep them cool in the fridge for a spell, then sow them shallowly in pots of gritty compost and keep them cool and lightly watered.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
Ecologically, the sickle-leaved hares ear is a generous plant of the garden. Its fine, upright, open clusters of the many small, yellow flowers feed the bees and the many insects, and its fine, narrow, greyish-green growth gives a neat, fine presence to the sunny border and the grassland garden.

The plant is best kept as a subject of study rather than a casual home remedy. For a grower, the sickle-leaved hares ear is an easy and rewarding plant, and for a gardener it brings a yellow-flowered, narrow-leaved plant to the sunny garden. The seeds appreciate a little winter — mix them with a handful of damp sand in a labelled bag and tuck it into the fridge for a spell, then sow them shallowly in pots of gritty soil, keep them cool and evenly moist, and germination follows a quiet rhythm of its own.
