botany
A spiny, thistle-like plant of the carrot family, especially sea holly, with blue-gray flower heads.
Eryngo grows along coastlines and in dry places, where its stiff, silvery leaves and bluish flower heads stand out against sand. Its root was once candied and sold as a sweet believed to restore vigor. Gardeners still plant it for dried arrangements, and botanists group it in the genus Eryngium.
