Grossblättriger Milchlattich

The common blue sow-thistle (<em>Lactuca macrophylla</em>) is a plant species native to Europe, with documented occurrences in the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Iceland, and Norway. This species typically inhabits diverse terrestrial environments, adapting to a range of ecological conditions across its European range. As a member of the family Asteraceae, it often grows in disturbed habitats, roadsides, and woodland edges throughout its native range. The common blue sow-thistle has not been formally assessed on the IUCN Red List, so its global conservation status remains unevaluated at this time.
