no edit summary
Common names include '''ragwort''', '''common ragwort''', '''stinking willie''', '''tansy ragwort, benweed''', St. James-wort, stinking nanny/ninny/willy, staggerwort, dog standard, cankerwort, stammerwort, mare's fart and cushag. In the western United States it is generally known as tansy ragwort, or tansy, though its resemblance to the true tansy is superficial.
== Description Uses== The plant is generally considered to be biennial but it has the tendency to exhibit perennial properties under certain cultural conditions (such as when subjected to repeated grazing or mowing). The stems are erect{{Uses|burns}}, {{Uses|sores}}, {{Uses|cancerous ulcers}}, {{Uses|eye inflammation}}, straight{{Uses|ulcerated mouths}}, have no or few hairs{{Uses|ulcerated throats}}, and reach a height of 0.3–2.0 metres (1 ft 0 in–6 ft 7 in). The leaves are pinnately lobed and the end lobe is blunt. The many names that include the word "stinking" (and Mare's Fart) arise because of the unpleasant smell of the leaves. The hermaphrodite flower heads are 1.5–2.5 centimetres (0.59–0.98 in) diameter{{Uses|internal bruises}}, and are borne in dense{{Uses|wounds}}, flat-topped clusters; the florets are bright yellow. It has a long flowering period lasting from June to November (in the Northern Hemisphere).{{Uses|dysmenorrhoea}}
