A note edit

Should note, some of the references I have looked at have indicated flowers could be purple. This is a detail that needs to be cleaned up.

Follow-up edit

Wild Flowers of the Mediterranean by Marjorie Blamey and Christopher Grey-Wilson (2nd ed., Bloomsbury, London, 2004) states that the flowers are purple. The Royal Horticultural Society Plant Finder also gives purple as the colour (see https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/75483/Centaurea-cineraria-subsp-cineraria/Details). The picture on the Encyclopedia of Life page that's cited in the article (https://eol.org/pages/467765) seems to be Jacobaea maritima (older name Senecio cineraria). However, the picture at https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/centaurea-cineraria/ definitely looks like a yellow Centaurea.14:23, 3 November 2019 (UTC)Harveywoods (talk)
