Centaurea cyanoides, the Syrian cornflower, is a species of Centaurea. It is native to Cyprus, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria.[1]
Centaurea cyanoides looks similar to the European cornflower Centaurea cyanus although C.cyanoides is much smaller, only 2-3 cm wide. It grows only in wild areas and is not in cultivated fields. It is native to the Middle East.[citation needed]
