The generic name Tragopogon is derived from the Greek language where Tragos means goat and pogon means beard. Thus Tragopogon, or goat beard, was applied due to the plant's large feathery seed heads ... [which] are dandelion-like, but much larger [about 3 inches across] and tan in color [on leafy stems with
narrow leaves which have a blue-green tint]
